Upon the filing of the said report, the court or judge thereof, shall make and enter an order fixing the time and place when and where all persons interested may appear and object to the confirmation thereof. All objections shall be in writing and shall clearly specify the grounds of objection and shall be filed in the office of the clerk of court wherein said report is filed at least five (5) days prior to the date set for the hearing. The clerk of said court shall cause notice of the time and place of such hearing to be given to all parties interested, which notice shall contain a brief description of the lands benefited and damaged, together with the net damage awarded the several tracts, parcels, easements and corporations to which damages are awarded, and the sum in each case assessed for benefits and cost of construction against the several benefited parcels, tracts, easements and corporations, and the amount of water apportioned to each acre of land in the district. Said notice shall be published for at least three (3) consecutive weeks, prior to the day set for the hearing, in one (1) newspaper published in each county in which said lands, or any part thereof within said district are situate (and if no newspaper is published in said county, in some newspaper in an adjoining county), and by serving a copy of such notice on each of the persons or corporations by said report recommended to be assessed, or whose lands are by said report recommended to be included in said district, and who resides in any of the counties in which any lands of the proposed district are situated, at least twelve (12) days before the day of hearing in the same manner that a summons is required to be served; provided, absence from the county of such person, or corporation shall excuse personal service, whereupon due publication of such notice shall be sufficient service.
