§ 67-16. Hearing - Filing and recording.

Upon such publication being made, all persons interested shall be deemed defendants, and may appear in person or by counsel, and be heard touching such proceedings.  If the court shall be satisfied that any public record of maps and plats has been injured, lost or destroyed, an order to that effect shall be entered of record, and thereupon the court shall proceed to take testimony for the purpose or reproducing and reestablishing the record so injured, lost or destroyed.  The proceedings may be continued from time to time, whether in term or not, and orders and decrees shall be made as to each map or plat separately.  The clerk shall cause all maps and plats adjudged by the court to be correct copies of the records injured, lost or destroyed, as often and as soon as they are so adjudged, to be filed in the office of the register of deeds, with a certified copy of the order or judgment of the court in the premises attached thereto, and recorded in a book to be provided for that purpose.  And the said record shall be deemed and taken in all courts and places as a public record, and as a true and correct reproduction of the original record so injured, lost or destroyed.
