In cases to which this section is applicable said certificate of purchase shall not be cancelled but shall be considered as legally assigned to the drainage, levee or other special improvement district making the deposit as herein set forth and shall be delivered by the collector to such district, noting thereon compliance with this section.
4. Any such certificate may then be redeemed as provided for in this chapter from any such drainage, levee or other special improvement district; if not redeemed, then any such drainage, levee, or other special improvement district shall be entitled to a collector's deed, in the same manner and under the same conditions as provided for in this chapter as to other holders of a certificate of purchase.
