      the provisions of chapter 490 with assets of the value of one million
      dollars or more, and having one or more platted villages located
      within the territorial limits of said tract of land, all of the
      territory within the plats of said villages with their addition or
      subdivisions shall, for the purposes of this chapter, be deemed to be
      one incorporated city.  All funds to become due to said villages so
      consolidated shall be paid to the county auditor of the county in
      which said tract of land and said villages are situated.  Said fund
      shall, thereupon, be administered and expended by the county board of
      supervisors of said county for the construction, reconstruction,
      repair, and maintenance of roads and streets within the plats of such
      villages in the same manner and with the same powers and duties as
      city councils in cities.  In the event the population of such
      villages shall not have been separately enumerated in the federal
      census, then said county board of supervisors shall cause a census of
      said villages to be taken as soon as may be after this chapter
