(b) If any landowner, any private corporation, or any other drainage district has made any improvements or works that can be profitably used as a part of the general system, the value of those improvements or works shall be assessed by the board, shall separately appear upon their assessment, and shall be paid for by the district, either in cash or by reduction of assessments.

Where they return no such assessment of damages as to any tract of land, it shall be deemed a finding by them that no damage will be sustained.
