The district shall act as the agency for the collection of such assessments and in sodoing shall act as trustees for the benefit of such holders of assessment debentures or bonds.
If the board creates more than one improvement district, the funds of each such district shall be kept in a separate fund or account to be used for the payment of interest and principal of the assessment securities pertaining to the improvement district.
The urban district shall prepare annually and shall make available for inspection inthe district treasurer's office to each holder of assessment securities a statement of the financial condition of the improvement district relating to such securities, which report shall include a statement of all delinquencies existing at such time.
Where there is a delinquency continuing for a period of one year in the payment ofany installment of such assessment made for the project, the urban district shall thereafter forthwith proceed with the institution of proceedings to foreclose the assessment lien against the property or properties wherein the delinquency exists, unless the county treasurer has instituted such proceedings, as provided in this article.
