The board to which a petition for the inclusion of lands into a district is presented may require, as a condition precedent to the granting of the same, that the petitioners severally shall pay to such district such respective amounts, as nearly as the same can be estimated, the several amounts to be determined by the board, as said petitioners or their grantors would have been required to pay to such district as assessments, had such lands been included in such district at the time the same originally was formed.
