Such appeals shall be taken within thirty days after the filing of the certificate of classification in the office of the assessor of such town or the refusal of such classification, as the case may be, and shall be brought by petition in writing with proper citation, signed by competent authority, to the adverse parties, at least twelve days before the return day.
