The appropriate officer of the commission shall examine the work of any improvement and view all lands benefited thereby and shall thereupon fix the time and place for hearing all persons interested. Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be mailed to owners of land affected, directed to their last known post-office addresses, and shall be published at least 10 days before the hearing. Failure to mail any such notice shall not invalidate any proceeding or assessment.
Such officer of the commission shall attend at the time and place appointed and shall give all parties interested or affected by an improvement ample opportunity to be heard upon the subject of assessment. Thereafter, such officer shall make a just and equitable assessment of the benefits conferred upon any land by reason of such improvement, having due regard to the rights and interests of all persons concerned, and the increment in the value of the land benefited thereby.
