The board of directors shall then assess <br>against each owner of the property abutting upon the road improved or maintained within <br>the limits of the district that proportion of the cost of constructing the entire improvement <br>or that proportion of the cost of providing proper maintenance which his front footage <br>abutting upon the road bears to the total front footage of all properties abutting upon the <br>road within the district.
