Sec. 11-6.
Setting
petition for hearing-Notice.
Upon the filing of a petition for the approval of a contract settling
and adjusting a claim for benefits it shall be presented to the court,
which shall fix the date and hour for hearing. If the contract is between a
drainage district and a municipal corporation exercising drainage powers
and such municipal corporation was made a party to the proceeding in which
the performance of the work was authorized, then the petition may be heard
without notice or upon such notice as the court may direct. If the contract
is between 2 drainage districts, or if the contract is between a drainage
district and a municipal corporation and the municipal corporation was not
a party to that proceeding, then the clerk of the court shall publish
notice of the hearing on the petition in a newspaper of general circulation
published in the county in which the petitioning district is situated. The
notice shall be entitled "Drainage Notice", shall be addressed "To All
Persons Interested" and must state (a) in what court and on what date the
petition was filed, (b) in summary form, the terms of the contract,
including the names of the parties to the contract and (c) the place, date
and hour the petition will be heard. The notice shall be published once
each week for 2 successive weeks and the first publication of the notice
shall be at least 2 weeks prior to the date fixed for hearing. When a
petitioning district is situated in 2 or more counties then such notice
shall be given as aforesaid by publishing the same in a newspaper of
general circulation published in each of said counties. If no newspaper of
general circulation is published in any such county, then publication of
the notice shall be in a newspaper having general circulation in that
county. Notice by mailing shall not be required.
