provided in the foregoing section, said board shall deem it advisable
to appropriate property and in conjunction proceed with the work of
construction, or to appropriate property, or to proceed with such
construction when the property necessary, or part thereof, has been
secured by contract or otherwise, it shall adopt a resolution declaring
such purpose, describing the lands to be appropriated or used therefor,
and such other lands as may be injuriously or beneficially affected by
said proceedings, and in case improvement or construction is provided
for in said resolution, shall cause proper plans and specifications
and an estimate of the cost of the proposed work to be prepared by its
engineer selected to do such work, which shall be open to inspection
by all persons interested in or affected by the appropriation of such
lands and the construction of such work, and cause notice of the
passage and purport of such resolution and, in case of improvement or
construction is provided for in said resolution, of the fact that such
plans and specifications have been prepared and can thus be inspected,
to be published in some daily newspaper of general circulation in such
city once each week for two consecutive weeks. Such notice shall name
a time, not less than ten days after the date of publication at which
such board shall receive or hear remonstrances from persons interested
in or affected by such proceeding. At the time so fixed therefor
said board shall hear remonstrances, if any are presented, and after
considering the same, take final action, confirming, modifying or
rescinding their original resolution. Such action shall be final and
conclusive upon all persons. In said resolution and notice separate
description of each piece or parcel of property shall not be required,
but it shall be sufficient description of the property purchased, or
to be purchased, appropriated or damaged to give a description of the
entire tract by metes and bounds, whether the same shall be composed
of one or more pieces or parcels, and whether owned by one or more
person or persons; also, it shall be sufficient, in said resolution and
notice, to prescribe the limits within which private property shall be
deemed benefited by the proposed improvement, which benefit districts
may include one or more park districts, part or parts of such district
or districts and lands benefited outside of said city: _Provided,
however_, That at the time before the final adoption of said resolution
the resident property-holders in any benefit district, as thus defined,
shall have the right to remonstrate against any undertaking by said
park board, the cost of which may in whole or in part be assessed
against their property. In the event that a majority of such resident
property-holders shall remonstrate in writing before the date set for
such final adoption of such resolution, no assessment shall be made in
such district for such purpose for a period of one year thereafter and
then only upon a new resolution duly adopted.
