§ 82-608. Decree on appraisals
If it appears to the satisfaction of the court after having
heard and determined all said exceptions that the estimated cost to
the conservancy district of constructing the improvement
contemplated in the official plan is less than the benefits
appraised, then the court shall approve and confirm said appraisers'
report as so modified and amended, and such findings and appraisals
shall be final and incontestable as to property within the district.
In considering the appraisals made by the board of appraisers, the
court shall take cognizance of the official plan and of the degree
to which it is effective for the purposes of the district. In case
the court shall find that the estimated benefits appraised are less
than the total costs to the conservancy district of the execution of
the official plan, exclusive of interest or deferred payments, or
that the official plan is not suited to the requirements of the
district, it may at its discretion return said official plan to the
directors of the district with the order for them to prepare new or
amended plans, or it may disorganize the district after having
provided for the payment of all expenditures by assessment prorated
as provided herein, in the meantime holding the report of the
appraisers in abeyance until such official plan has been prepared
and refiled with the court clerk.
