STUMPAGE DISTRICTS
38-1012. Report of intention to do work -- Notice of hearing. If the stumpage commissioners shall find, after investigation, that the costs, expenses and damages are more than equal to the benefits that will be bestowed upon the lands to be benefited, they shall so report and the proceeding shall be dismissed. But if the stumpage commissioners shall report that the whole costs of the works, including preliminary surveys and expenses, will be less than the benefits received therefrom, they shall so report to the board of county commissioners, and the county commissioners shall then make and enter an order fixing a time and place when and where all persons interested may appear and contest the confirmation thereof, and the clerk of the board of county commissioners shall cause notices of the time and place of said hearing to be given to all parties interested by mailing a notice to each landowner mentioned in the petition at least ten (10) days before the day of hearing by depositing it in the United States post office, with postage prepaid.
