“For the purpose of constructing necessary irrigating canals and works, and acquiring the necessary property and rights therefor, and otherwise carrying out the provisions of this act, the board of directors of any such district must, as soon after such district has been organized as may be practicable, and whenever thereafter the construction fund has been exhausted by expenditures herein authorized therefrom, and the board deem it necessary or expedient to raise additional money for said pur*74 poses, estimate and determine the amount of money necessary to be raised, and shall immediately thereafter call a special election, at which shall be submitted to the electors of such district possessing the qualifications prescribed by this act, the question whether or not the bonds of said district in the amount as determined shall be issued. * *”
The section as amended reads:
“For the purpose of procuring necessary reclamation works, and acquiring the necessary property and rights therefor and otherwise carrying out the provisions of this act, the board of directors of any such district shall, as soon as practicable after the organization of such district, by a resolution entered on its records, formulate a general plan of its proposed (works) in which it shall state in a general way what works or property it proposes to purchase or acquire, and what work it proposes to construct, and the estimated cost of carrying out said plan, and how it proposes to raise the necessary funds therefor. * *”
After specifying the manner in which the bonds shall be issued, etc., the amended section continues:
“In case the money raised by the sale of all the bonds be insufficient for the completion of the plans and works adopted, and additional bonds be not voted, it shall be the duty of the board to provide for the completion of said plan by levy of assessments therefor, in the manner herein provided.”
The judgment is affirmed. Affirmed.
