61 15 tract shall be apportioned to the resulting parcels, regardless
61 16 of use, except for land taken for additional drainage
61 17 right=of=way. The classification of the original tract may be
61 18 apportioned between the resulting parcels by agreement between
61 19 the parties to such division. The parties shall file with the

61 33 agree as to the apportionment of the percentage classification,
61 34 the board of supervisors shall, upon application of either
61 35 party, appoint a commission having the qualifications of
62 1 commissioners, in accordance with section 468.38. The

62 6 and file the same report with the county auditor within the
62 7 time set by the board. The report of the commissioners shall
62 8 set forth the names of the owners thereof, the description
62 9 of each of the tracts and the percentage of the original
62 10 classification that each such tract shall bear for main ditches
62 11 and settling basins, for laterals, for levees and pumping

62 18 equitable, and cause the record of the existing classification,
62 19 percentage of benefits or assessments, or both, to be modified
62 20 accordingly. In the event the parties neither agree as to the
62 21 apportionment of classification nor make application for the
62 22 appointment of commissioners, then the auditor of the county
62 23 in which the land is situated shall make such apportionment
62 24 upon an equitable basis and enter the same of record as herein
62 25 provided. No tract of land included within the boundary of any
62 26 drainage district shall be exempt from drainage assessments or
