Not proper for delinquent landowner to change basis of assessment. — Where a report discloses that the basis of an assessment is the benefits to be derived to each tract of land, a landowner cannot, in defending collection of interest due upon the assessment, urge that the amount assessed against a given tract exceeds the sum actually expended thereon, since that would change the basis of the assessment.
