3 Adoption of unimproved-value rating in incorporated districts.
It shall be lawful at any time after the inclusion in the said city of such district or part of a district for the ratepayers of the district or part of a district so included to adopt the system of rating on the unimproved value, and for that purpose the district or part of a district so united or included shall be deemed to be a district within the meaning of the word “district”
