for any part of the costs thereof, may apply to the County
Commissioners at any time before the confirmation of the
return for an order of review, and the County Commissioners
may, in their discretion, grant such order and appoint other
Drain Commissioners to perform the same duty as under the
original Drain Commission.
81AF. The Drain Commissioners appointed under any
order, original or of review, shall, within one month after the
confirmation of their report, call together taxables rated for
such ditch or ditches, at some convenient place near the swamp
or low lands to be drained, for the purpose of choosing a Board
of two or more managers and one treasurer.
In case the report of the Drain Commissioners appointed
under such order shall have been rejected as impracticable,
then the expense incurred in the making of the preliminary
survey and the making of such report shall be borne by the
County Commissioners, provided that if for any cause, the tax-
ables fail to organize or begin to carry out the drainage project
petitioned for and approved, within six months from the date
of the confirmation of said report, then the said drainage pro-
ject shall be considered void and of no effect and any subse-
quent petition for the drainage of the land contained within
the said report shall proceed as in case of a new petition or
project; and provided further that in case of such discontinu-

has been begun thereunder, the taxables shall be liable to pay
for their pro rata share of the expenses so incurred. Any per-
son may be elected or appointed treasurer of any ditch made
pursuant to this Act, whether he be a taxable of said ditch
or not.
The said Drain Commissioners shall give notice of the meet-
ing by advertisement posted in four of the most public places
in the neighborhood in which the swamp or low lands lies,
stating the time, place and object of the meeting.
At such meetings or any other meeting each of the taxables
shall be entitled to the following grades of votes, in propor-
tion to their respective taxes, to wit: For any tax to the
amount of five dollars and under, one vote; for any tax not
less than fifteen dollars, two votes; for any tax not less than
thirty-five dollars, three votes; for any tax not less than sixty
dollars, four votes; for any tax not less than one hundred dol-
