Text

If it shall be found before the hearing on the petition for the
organization of an irrigation district, that one (1) or more of
the persons owning or entitled to possession of land in said
district have not been duly served with notice of hearing on
said petition, the court or presiding judge shall not thereby
lose jurisdiction. The court or presiding judge in such case
shall adjourn the hearing, make an order directing the serving
of said notice upon said person or persons, and fixing the time
and manner of service of such notice, which notice shall notify
him to appear at said adjourned time and place and be heard on
said petition. Said notice shall be served personally or by
leaving at the last usual place of abode of said unserved
persons, as in W.S. 41-7-204 provided, not less than eight (8)
days before said adjourned hearing, or published not less than
fourteen (14) days before said adjourned hearing, in some
newspaper published in the county in which said persons' lands
lie, or if no newspaper may be published in said county, then in
some newspaper published in an adjoining county. Upon the
adjourned day the same proceedings, adjournments, trial,
findings and orders may be had as in case of complete service of
notice in the first instance. In case of failure to mail said
notice as herein required, the court or judge may order the same
mailed later and shall adjourn said hearing so that said notice
shall be mailed at least fourteen (14) days before said
adjourned hearing. In case of failure to publish or post notice,
as in this act required, the court or judge may adjourn said
hearing for sufficient time to permit the due posting and
publication of said notice, and order said notice posted or
published as in section 4 hereof directed. In case of
adjournment to permit notice to be given, the notice shall state
the fact of such adjournment and the time and place of hearing
pursuant to said adjournment.
