Immediately after the filing of such petition, the court shall, by order, fix a time

thereon, and thereupon the clerk shall cause notice by publication to be made of the
pendency of the petition, and of the time and place of the hearing thereon, in each

is covered by such description. The notice shall state that all persons, corporations and municipalities, or others

opportunity to be heard at the time and place specified in the notice. Publication shall be made as directed by the court, but shall be for at least once
