by the clerk of said court, in a sum not exceeding two
hundred dollars, to the effect that if the finding of the
court be not more favorable to the appellant than the find-
ing of the board, the appellant will pay the costs of the
appeal. The appellant shall state definitely from what part
of the order the appeal is taken. In case more than one
appeal is taken, upon a showing that the same may be consoli-
dated without injury to the interests of anyone, the court
may consolidate and try the same together.

(5) The court shall not disturb the findings of the board
unless the finding of the board in any case is manifestly
disproportionate to the assessments imposed upon other proper-
ty in the district created under this article. The trial
shall be to the court and the matter shall take precedence
before the court and shall be taken up as promptly as may be
after the appeal is filed. If no appeal is taken from the
finding of the board within the time prescribed in this sec-
tion, or after the finding of the district court in case an
appeal is taken from the finding of the board, then said as-
sessments shall be final and conclusive evidence that said
assessments have been made in proportion to the benefits con-
ferred upon each tract of real estate of said district by reason
of the general plans of survey, comprehensive plan of develop-
ment and the completion of improvements to be constructed
under the provisions of this article and such assessments shall
constitute a perpetual lien as provided in section 150-7-18
upon the real estate so assessed until paid. (1937).

150-7-8. Orqanization. - (1) Notwithstanding the organ-
ization of the district herein provided for, public irriga-
tion districts organized under and pursuant to article 4 of
chapter 149, CRS 53, and irrigation districts organized under
and pursuant to articles 1 and 2 of thi~ chapter, and any
other form of organization designed or intended to acquire,
construct or maintain reservoirs, ditches and similar works
for irrigation or other beneficial purposes under any law of
the state of Colorado or of the United States of America, may
be organized to cover and include areas within the Colorado
river water conservation district and may likewise embrace
territory within that said district and partly out of the
district. The board of directors, whenever in their opinion
such form of organization will help promote the local inter-
ests or accomplish improvements for any part of said district,
may recommend the organization of any such type of organiza-
tion.
