    §  5-317 Tentative decree; what to contain; where filed. a. The court,
  after hearing such testimony and  considering  such  proofs  as  may  be
  offered,  shall  ascertain  and  estimate  the compensation which should
  justly be made by the city to the respective owners of the real property
  being acquired. The court shall  instruct  the  corporation  counsel  to
  prepare separate tabular abstracts of its estimate of damage.
    b.  The  tabular  abstract  of  the  estimated  damage shall set forth
  separately the amount of loss and damage, the names  of  the  respective
  owners of each and every parcel of real property affected thereby as far
  as  the  same  shall  be  ascertained,  and  a sufficient designation or
  description of the respective lots or parcels of real property acquired,
  by reference to the numbers of the respective parcels indicated upon the
  surveys, diagrams, maps or plans used by the court, or  copies  thereof,
  which,  together  with  all of the affidavits and proofs upon which such
  estimates are based, shall accompany or  be  attached  to  such  tabular
  abstracts.
    c.  The  finance  department  shall furnish to the corporation counsel
  sets of the tax maps of the city in duplicate for filing therein and for
  convenience of reference thereto in the tabular  abstract  of  estimated
  damage.  The  surveyor  of the finance department shall make and furnish
  all necessary surveys and corrections of the section maps, necessary  to
  keep  the  maps  furnished  to  the  corporation  counsel as accurate as
  practicable.
    d. Such tabular abstract or abstracts shall be signed by  the  justice
  trying  the  proceeding  and  filed  with  the clerk of the court in the
  county in which the order granting the application to condemn was  filed
  and  when  so  filed  such  abstract  or  abstracts shall constitute the
  tentative decree of the court as to awards for damages.
