They shall also estimate and put down in another column the amount of damages, if any, that any of the owners of said land may, in the opinion of such commissioners, sustain by reason of the construction of such work over their land in such district; shall make an estimate of the costs of draining said district, apportioned to each tract of land; and shall make and file a schedule or assessment roll of the same, which shall be substantially in the following form:

Taxes levied hereunder are hereby declared to be taxes for maintenance purposes and shall not diminish in any manner the amount of assessed benefits in any such district which is otherwise available for the payment of any outstanding bonds of such district. 
 

The assessments provided for in this section may be made even though evidences of indebtedness have been issued or validated or both prior thereto, but the lien of the holders of any such indebtedness shall not be impaired thereby.
