81R. If any lands which will not be affected or benefited by the
drainage project shall be located within the outer boundaries of the
drainage district as finally established, such fact shall not prevent the
formation of the district, and said lands shall not be assessed for any
drainage tax; but this shall not prevent the district from acquiring a
right-of-way across such lands for constructing a ditch or canal or for
any other necessary purpose authorized by law.
1912, ch. 656, sec. 19.
81S. If it shall be necessary to acquire a right-of-way or an outlet
over and through lands not affected by the drainage, and the same can-
not be acquired by purchase, then and in such event the power of emi-
nent domain is hereby conferred, and the same may be condemned.-
Such owner or owners of the land proposed to be condemned may be
made parties defendant in the manner of an ancilliary proceeding, and
the procedure shall be substantially as provided for the condemnation
of rights-of-way for railroads, so far as the same may be applicable, and
such damages as may be awarded as compensation shall be paid by the
Board of Drainage Commissioners out of the first funds which shall be
available from the proceeds of sale of bonds or otherwise.

81T. The owner of any land that has been assessed for the cost of
the construction of any ditch, drain or water course, as herein provided,
shall have the right to use the ditch, drain or water course as an outlet
for lateral drains from said land; and if said land is separated from
the ditch, drain or water course by the land of another or others, and
the owner thereof shall be unable to agree with said other or others as
to the terms and conditions on which he may enter their lands and con-
struct said drain or ditch, he may file his ancillary petition in such
pending proceeding to the Board of County Commissioners, and the
procedure shall be as now provided by law. When the ditch is con-
structed it shall become a part of the drainage system and shall be under
the control of the Board of Drainage Commissioners and be kept in
repair by them as herein provided.
