1. The owner of any tract of land against which such special tax shall have been levied may, within thirty days after the date of said order, elect to pay all of said special tax in one installment on or before the date of payment of the first installment thereof, by filing with the clerk of the county commission his written election, signed by him, so to do, in which election he shall state the tract, or tracts, upon which he so elects to pay; and thereupon the clerk shall note the filing of said election and the date of such filing, on the tax record book opposite the description of such tract, or tracts, and forthwith make out and deliver to the county collector a tax bill payable in one installment, for the amount charged or chargeable against each of such tracts, with interest from the date of said order to the first day of April next after the first installment of the tax levied is payable.
