Text

The board of directors if
it deems it not for the best interests of the district to include therein the lands
mentioned in the petition, by order, shall reject the petition, but if it deems it for the
best interests of the district that said lands be included, the board may order that
the district be so changed as to include therein the lands mentioned in the said
petition. The order shall describe the entire boundaries of the district with the lands
so included, if the district boundaries are changed thereby, and for that purpose the
board may cause a survey to be made of such portion of such boundaries as may be
deemed necessary. However, if within thirty days from the making of such order a
majority of the qualified electors of the district protest in writing to said board
against the inclusion of such lands in said district, said order shall be held for
naught, and such lands shall not be included therein. In the case of inclusion of
government land according to the provisions of section 37-41-113, said protest must
be made within thirty days of the date of the execution of the contract provided for
