§ 82-606. Notice of hearings on appraisals

Upon the filing of the report of the appraisers, the clerk of

the court shall give notice thereof, as provided in this act, in

each county wherein appraisals of lands reflect benefits thereto.

Said notice shall be in the name of the state, directed by name to

every person returned by the appraisers as the owner of any lot or

parcel of lands affected by the proposed improvement, or of any

interest therein, and also generally to all other persons, without

mentioning their names, who may own such land or any part thereof or

may interest therein notifying them of the filing of the report of

the appraisers and that on the day fixed in the notice the court

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 82. Waters and Water Rights

will hear said report and any objections that may be filed thereto

and any evidence that may be adduced concerning the same, and

requiring the persons so informed, and each of them, on the day

fixed for hearing, to appear before the court and show cause, if any

they have, why said report should not be confirmed as made or as the

court may amend the same, and the improvements and assessments made

as therein described or as the report may be amended. Such notice

shall contain in appropriate columns, a tabulated description which

may be abbreviated as land descriptions usually are abbreviated, of

every lot or parcel of land that will be benefited by the proposed

improvements, and shall be published as herein provided, the last

insertion to be before the day set for the hearing. Where lands in

different counties are mentioned in said report, it shall not be

necessary to publish a description of all lands in the district in

each county, but only of that part of the said lands situate in the

county in which publication is made. The day for the hearing on the

report of the appraisers, so set, shall not be less than thirty (30)

days nor more than sixty (60) days from the first publication of the

notice. Provided, that the court shall sit for hearing on appraisals

under this section in each of the counties where the lands affected

be situated.

If the appraisers have prepared an appraisal of damages at the

direction of the court, said notice shall include the report of the

board of appraisers of their estimates of damages, if any, to be

sustained by each property owner as provided in Section 602(b) of

this title.
