Upon the filing of the report of the appraisers, the clerk of
the court shall give notice thereof, as provided in this act, in
each county wherein appraisals of lands reflect benefits thereto.
Said notice shall be in the name of the state, directed by name to
every person returned by the appraisers as the owner of any lot or
parcel of lands affected by the proposed improvement, or of any
interest therein, and also generally to all other persons, without
mentioning their names, who may own such land or any part thereof or
may interest therein notifying them of the filing of the report of
the appraisers and that on the day fixed in the notice the court

will hear said report and any objections that may be filed thereto
and any evidence that may be adduced concerning the same, and
requiring the persons so informed, and each of them, on the day
fixed for hearing, to appear before the court and show cause, if any
they have, why said report should not be confirmed as made or as the
court may amend the same, and the improvements and assessments made
as therein described or as the report may be amended. Such notice
shall contain in appropriate columns, a tabulated description which
may be abbreviated as land descriptions usually are abbreviated, of
every lot or parcel of land that will be benefited by the proposed
improvements, and shall be published as herein provided, the last
insertion to be before the day set for the hearing. Where lands in
different counties are mentioned in said report, it shall not be
necessary to publish a description of all lands in the district in
each county, but only of that part of the said lands situate in the
county in which publication is made. The day for the hearing on the
report of the appraisers, so set, shall not be less than thirty (30)
days nor more than sixty (60) days from the first publication of the
notice. Provided, that the court shall sit for hearing on appraisals
under this section in each of the counties where the lands affected
be situated.
If the appraisers have prepared an appraisal of damages at the
direction of the court, said notice shall include the report of the
board of appraisers of their estimates of damages, if any, to be
sustained by each property owner as provided in Section 602(b) of
this title.
