The boundaries of any district organized under the provision of
this act may be changed in the manner herein prescribed, but the
change of boundaries of the district shall not impair or affect
its organization or its rights in or to property, or any of its
rights or privileges whatsoever; nor shall it affect or impair
or discharge any contract, obligation, lien or charge for or
upon which it might be liable or chargeable had such change of
boundaries not been made. The owners of lands may file with the
board a petition, in writing, praying that such lands be
included in the district. The petition shall describe the tracts
or body of land owned by the petitioners, and such petition
shall be deemed to give assent of the petitioners to the
inclusion in said district of the lands described in the
petition, and such petition must be acknowledged in the same
manner that conveyances of land are required to be acknowledged.
The secretary of the board shall cause notice of filing of such
petition to be given and published in the county in which the
lands are situated, which notice shall state the filing of such
petition, names of petitioners, descriptions of lands mentioned
and the prayer of said petitioners; giving notice to all persons
interested to appear at the office of the board at the time
named in said notice and show cause in writing, if any they
have, why the petition should not be granted. The board shall at
the time and place mentioned or at such time or times at which
the hearing may be adjourned, proceed to hear the petition and
all objections thereto, presented, in writing, by any person
showing cause why said petition should not be granted. The
failure of any person interested to show cause, in writing,
shall be deemed and held and taken as an assent on his part to
the inclusion of such lands in the district as prayed for in the
petition. If the petition be granted, the board shall make an
order to that effect and file same with the clerk of the court
and upon order of the court said lands shall be included in the
district.
