If it shall appear to the court or chancellor that the extension of the boundaries of said drainage district, so as to include the additional territory and the construction of the proposed improvements, will be conducive to the public health, to the public benefit, and to the interest of the land and the owners thereof, he shall enter an order extending the boundaries of said drainage district so as to embrace and include said territory, and establishing the same as a part of said existing drainage district.
