provided in section 57-25-01, the person, within five days after such hearing and determination,

held at the next regular meeting of the board of county commissioners after said ten -day period

interested and shall make a division of the assessed valuation of the tract of land in question
and shall apportion the taxes thereon as said board deems fair and equitable.
