1. In the hearing of any petition, the
board of county commissioners shall disregard any informalities therein.
2. If the board of county commissioners
deny the petition or dismiss it for any reasons on account of the provisions of
this chapter not having been complied with, which are the only reasons upon
which the board of county commissioners shall have the right to refuse or
dismiss the petition, the board of county commissioners shall state its reasons
in writing therefor in detail, which shall be entered upon its records.
3. If the reasons are not well founded, a
writ of mandamus shall, upon proper application therefor, issue out of the
district court of the county compelling the board of county commissioners to
act in compliance with this chapter, which writ shall be heard within 20 days
from the date of issuance, such time to be excluded from the time given the
board of county commissioners to act upon the petition.
