The board of assessors, each for the county it represents, shall make, in a book to be provided by the district for that purpose, a separate assessment of the increased value or betterment, which it is estimated will annually accrue to the lands, town lots, blocks, railroads and tramroads, telegraph and telephone lines, and electric power lines, and other real property within the boundaries of the district by reason of the construction of the flood control and drainage works provided for in the adopted and authorized project and the perpetual operation and maintenance thereof. The assessment roll shall be made by the assessors of the real property in each county in the following manner: The lands shall be entered upon the assessment roll in convenient subdivisions, according to the government survey.
