If the tax first levied shall prove insufficient to complete the improvement or to pay the bonds, both principal and interest, issued by the board of commissioners for the improvement, as provided in this chapter, as the principal and interest shall become due and payable, then the board of commissioners shall from time to time report the amount of deficiency to the circuit court. It shall thereupon make levies upon the property previously assessed for sums sufficient to complete the improvement and to pay the bonds and interest in the same manner as the first levy.
