85-8-343 . Commissioners to use most feasible plan. The commissioners shall not be confined to the points of commencement, routes, or termini of the drains or ditches or the number, extent, or size of the same or the location, plan, or extent of any levee, ditch, or other work as proposed by the petitioners but shall locate, design, lay out, and plan the same in such manner as to them shall seem best to promote the public health or welfare and to drain or to protect the lands, including improvements, of the parties interested with the least damage and the greatest benefit to all lands affected thereby.
Any plan proposed by the commissioners may, on the application of any interested person, on the hearing provided for hereinafter, or on the application of the commissioners, be altered by the court, by written order, in such manner as shall appear to the court to be just.
