2. All such assessments may at the election of the owner be paid in installments with interest as hereinafter provided, whenever the governing body so authorizes the payment of assessments.

4. All persons so electing to pay in installments are conclusively considered as consenting to such projects, and such an election is conclusively considered as a waiver of all rights to question the power or jurisdiction of the municipality to acquire or improve the projects, the quality of the work, the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings or the validity or correctness of the assessment.
