43-17-9. Attaching of additional land--Substitution of outer boundary of surveyed accretion land--Apportionment of new accreted land--Determination of boundary line. In the event additional lands shall thereafter become attached to such accretion land and subdivision of same, the outer boundary of the first surveyed accretion land shall be substituted and treated as though it were the original government meander line, and the new and additional accreted land shall be apportioned as in the original subdivision of the first accretion. Provided, however, that in the determination of the boundary line to be used, the circuit court shall determine as to whether or not the outer boundary line shall be substituted for the original government meander line, and said court shall determine the method of apportionment of such additional accreted land.
