In case of the exclusion of any lands under the provisions of this chapter, there shall be refunded, to any and all persons who have paid any assessment or assessments to such district for any lands so excluded, any sum or sums so paid. Such payments shall be made in the same manner as other claims against such district, and from such fund or funds as the board of directors may designate; but where such parties have realized benefits from the organization and operation of the district, the value of such benefits shall be deducted from the assessments paid in by such person and the balance, if any, refunded.
