The amount of any such contract that may be entered into for such special lighting, pursuant to the provisions of this act, shall be assessed, levied and collected upon and between the taxable property in said city and the district or districts respectively, in the same manner and by the same officers as city taxes, charges or expenses for said city are now assessed, levied and collected.
