24-616. Hearings to objections to engineer report; costs; fees. The cost of said hearing in case of contest shall be taxed and assessed as follows: First, if the said matter shall be determined by said board against the parties' contention objecting to said assessment, all costs upon the hearing of his said objections shall be adjudged against said objector. And said board of supervisors shall have the right to recover the same from said objector or objectors for the benefit of said drainage corporation, in a civil action for that purpose before any court of competent jurisdiction in the names of said drainage corporation.
Second, in case said matter is finally determined by said board of supervisors partly in favor of and partly against the contention of any objector, or objectors, the costs shall be apportioned against the drainage district and said objectors as said board shall deem just and equitable. Third, in case the contentions of said objectors are wholly sustained and the matter is fully determined in their favor by said board, the costs shall be paid by said drainage district. The fees allowed upon said hearing shall be the same as those prescribed by K.S.A. 28-127 .
