(2) The probable total cost of carrying out the drainage scheme shall be stated in the scheme and shall not exceed the sum of one thousand pounds and, where the county council or joint committee charged with the preparation of a drainage scheme is satisfied after due investigation that it is not possible to frame a scheme which will give reasonable effect to the proposals contained in the petition for such scheme and can be carried out for a probable total cost not exceeding the sum of one thousand pounds, such council or committee shall declare such proposals incapable of being carried out under this Act and thereupon all proceedings under the said petition shall be abandoned but without prejudice to proceedings by petition under this Act for a new drainage scheme relating to the same locality.

(3) Where a drainage scheme is abandoned under this section the expenses incurred by the county council or joint committee in and about the preparation of such scheme prior to the abandonment thereof shall be paid (as the case may be) out of the county fund of such council or in such proportions as shall, in default of agreement, be determined by the Minister out of the several county funds of the county councils by whom such joint committee is appointed.
