1. If the board of supervisors deem it necessary, the board shall without unnecessary delay, levy a tax of such portion of said readjusted assessed benefits on all lands, railroad and other property in the district to which benefits have been assessed, as may be found necessary by the board of supervisors to pay the costs of the completion of the proposed works and improvements as shown in the supplemental plan for reclamation adopted by the board of supervisors pursuant to section 245.105 and in carrying out the objects of said district, and plus ten percent of said total amount for emergencies.
