Every municipality shall have power to provide for and regulate the construction of local improvements by day's pay in the cases provided by this title.
The governing body may direct any local improvement except local improvements for which special assessments are to be levied to be done by day's work if the reasonable cost thereof is not in excess of fifteen hundred dollars. An estimate of the cost thereof shall be prepared by the city engineer, if there be a city engineer, or by the governing body if there be no city engineer, and filed for public inspection in the city engineer's office or in the office of the governing body, at least five days before any such local improvement by day's work shall be directed.
Whenever any such improvement is done by day's work, upon the completion thereof the auditor shall prepare and file forthwith for public inspection in his office an itemized statement of the cost paid out or incurred in the construction of such improvement, verified by him.
