provides that the improvement shall be made wholly or in part by special
taxation of contiguous property, that special tax shall be levied,
assessed, and collected, as nearly as may be, in the manner provided in the
section of this Division 2 providing for the mode of making, assessing, and
collecting special assessments. No special tax shall be levied or assessed
upon any property to pay for any local improvement in an amount in excess
of the special benefit which the property will receive from the
improvement. The ordinance shall not be deemed conclusive of the benefit,
but the question of the benefit and of the amount of the special tax shall
be subject to the review and determination of the court, and shall be tried
in the same manner as in proceedings by special assessment.
