1. Before final action upon the apportionment of benefits provided for in NRS 539.560, the board shall publish notice for 2 weeks in a newspaper published in the county in which the organization was effected that it will meet at its office on the day stated in the notice for the purpose of reviewing such apportionment of benefits.
2. At such meeting the board shall proceed to hear all persons interested who may appear, and it shall continue in session from day to day until the apportionment is completed.
3. The board shall hear and receive all evidence offered, including any maps or surveys which any owners of lands may produce, and may classify the lands in such a way that the assessment when completed shall be just and equitable.
4. Any person interested who shall fail to appear before the board shall not be permitted thereafter to contest the apportionment, or any assessment thereunder, except upon a special application to the court in the proceeding for confirmation of the apportionment, showing reasonable excuse for failing to appear before the board.
5. If any elector makes objection to the apportionment before the board, and the objection is overruled and such elector does not consent to the apportionment as finally determined, such objection shall, without further proceedings, be heard at the confirmation proceedings.
