§ 40-27-110 — Value of animal - finding of board

Whenever any owner of any
animal so killed or wounded or any railroad company or corporation or the assignee
or lessee thereof submits any such claim for killing or damaging of livestock to the
state board of stock inspection commissioners for determination as to what
damage if any shall be paid by said railroad company, the finding of said state
board of stock inspection commissioners in regard thereto shall be considered as
an arbitration thereof. The finding of said board shall be final and shall also be so
accepted by the said owner or his authorized agent or by said railroad company or
corporation, and the state board of stock inspection commissioners shall have the
right to make such investigation, through its inspectors or otherwise, as it may think
necessary in order to determine the just and equitable amount that should be paid
as damages or it may determine that no damages shall be paid, as the facts may
warrant.
