24-303. Petition to be filed; bond; notice to persons owning lands. That before the county commissioners of any such county shall take any steps toward locating or establishing any ditch, drain, or watercourse, there shall be filed with the county clerk a petition of one or more persons owning lands adjacent to the line of any such proposed ditch, drain, or watercourse, setting forth the necessity of the same, with a substantial description of its proposed starting point, route and terminus, and shall at the same time file a bond, with good and sufficient sureties to the acceptance of said county clerk, conditioned to pay all expenses incurred in case the county commissioners shall refuse to grant the prayer of the petitioner.
And thereupon the county clerk shall give notice to the county commissioners of the filing and pendency of said petition, and said county commissioners shall immediately determine proceedings thereunder. And thereupon the petitioner or one of the petitioners shall cause notice in writing to be given to the owner or one of the owners of each tract of land sought to be affected by said proceedings, of the filing and pendency of said petition; said notice to state substantially the prayer of said petition, the time and place when and where the same will be for hearing by the said board of county commissioners, but nothing in this section shall be taken to prevent the petitioner from giving printed notices if he or they desire.
If any person owning lands sought to be affected by said proceedings be a nonresident of the county, a notice such as is contemplated by this section shall be given him by publication for two consecutive weeks in some newspaper published or of general circulation in said county. The death of any party or parties in interest shall not work an abatement of proceedings under this act; but the board of county commissioners, being notified, shall order such notice as is contemplated in this section to be given to the person or persons succeeding to the right of such deceased party or parties.
