ready to make its order approving the assessment as finally fixed
pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 5, Part 4, of this division the
board may at the time of making the order finally approving the
assessment, also determine, and make a part of the order, that in its

for in Chapter 3 of this part.

9263. With the money received from the sale of bonds, the board as
