§ 270.120. Questions of fact may be referred to master; property may be taken for public use; procedure

1. The court or judge trying the cause may refer any questions of fact arising therein

to a master or commissioner for findings and determination, and the findings of such

master or commissioner shall be subject to review by such court or judge. 2. The court or judge before whom the cause is tried shall have full jurisdiction

over all questions that may be properly at issue upon the pleadings, including such

issues that may arise by reason of any conflict between the lots, blocks, streets,

alleys, highways, parks, cemeteries, schools and other public properties, or the lines

or corners thereof, as shown by the map or maps, or plat or plats, filed with the

complaint, and the rights or alleged rights of any one or more of the owners of any

of the property described in the complaint or embraced in the map or maps, or plat

or plats. 3. In the event that it is necessary, for the purpose of fixing and establishing the

map or maps, or plat or plats, to devote any pieces or parcels of property owned by

any of the defendants within the city, subdivision or addition to public uses as streets

or alleys, it shall be proper for the court or judge to appoint three appraisers,

who shall appraise and assess the value of such property, and the court may condition

the approval of such map or plat on the payment or proper tender by plaintiff to such

party defendant of such assessed sum. Any two of such three appraisers shall be competent to act, and their appraisement

or assessment shall be subject to review by the court.
