ART. 91] PUBLIC ROADS. 2003

such plat or plats as may be necessary, shall by the commission be
deposited with the clerk of the circuit court for the county in which
the property to be taken lies; and thereupon the commission shall, by
advertisement inserted three times successively in one or more news-
papers published in said county, give notice to the parties interested
(naming them) that such final report has been deposited, and that after
the expiration of twenty-one days from the date of the first publication
the said report will become (and the same shall become) absolute and
final as against all persons who shall not in the meantime have appealexl
therefrom to such circuit court. Every such appeal shall, upon order
of the appellant's attorney, be docketed as a separate case in the name
of the appellant against the State of Maryland. Accompanying such
order shall be a statement of the grounds upon which the appeal is
based, and every such appeal shall be heard as promptly as may be
on such day as the court shall fix. The appellant shall be entitled to
have the amount of his damages or benefits assessed by a jury, and
shall have the right to appeal to the court of appeals on any question
of law involved. At every such inquisition the State shall 'proceed as
if party plaintiff, and the costs in the circuit court shall be paid by the
State. If no such appeal from the report of the commission shall be
taken, or when all such appeals have been finally disposed of, it shall
be lawful for the state roads commission (if for any reason such course
may become necessary) to pay into court, under an order of the judge
thereof, the amount due to any person in interest, and thereupon the
title to the property so paid for shall be vested in the State of Maryland.
In addition to publishing the notice of the preliminary report herein
provided for, the commission shall cause a printed copy of such notice
to be mailed to the persons interested, so far as their postoffice addresses
are known or can reasonably be ascertained; provided, however, that
such action shall not be deemed a pre-requisite to the validity of the
proceeding. If any of the parties in interest residing in this State are
within the age or non compos mentis or other contractual disability
and are not represented by a guardian, committee or trustee, it shall
be the duty of the commission to certify such fact to the court at the
time of filing its final report, and thereupon the court shall make such
order for the protection of the rights of such person under disability
as may be proper.
