(b) Shall oversee the construction and repair of dikes and dams.

(c) Shall see that all contracts are faithfully executed, and the work done in a thorough manner.

(d) After the dikes are completed, may employ the labor necessary to maintain them at the usual rate of wages allowed to laborers on the county road; provided, that in an emergency the county court may allow a higher rate of wages; and provided, further, that the county court may, with the approval of the advisory board, allow work on maintenance to be done by contract.
