126. The managers appointed as aforesaid shall receive two dollars for
every day they shall be engaged in the discharge of their duty; the sur-
veyor or engineer, such reasonable compensation as shall be agreed upon
between the parties, and the Clerk of the County Commissioners, who is
hereby required to keep a record of the order and report, shall be entitled
to receive for every order made and certified under his seal of office fifty
cents; for recording the report, endorsing the confirmation thereon, and
filing the same on record, twenty-five cents. If any Drain Commissioner
appointed in any order, original or of review shall die, or remove from the
county, or be otherwise unable to act, the County Commissioners, as soon
as practicable thereafter, shall appoint another person in his stead, and
the order and report thereon shall be executed and received in the same
manner by the County Commissioners as if the person originally appointed
had acted.

1920, ch. 507, sec. 81AR.

127. Nothing contained in this sub-title shall be so construed as to
authorize the removal of any mill dam, or interference with the legal
water rights appertaining to mills, nor to divert the water so as to deprive
the owner over whose lands said water flows of the benefits and water rights
now enjoyed by him. In case of the property or interest of any minor not
having a guardian being affected by the draining of any swamp or low
grounds, as hereinbefore provided, the Orphans' Court of the county shall
appoint a guardian to protect the interest of such a minor.

1920, ch. 507, sec. 81AS.

128. If any owner of land or other property affected by any proceed-
ings hereinbefore authorized lives out of the State, a written notice of
thirty days served on the tenant or agent of such owner of the proceedings
of the Commissioners shall be as good and sufficient as if said owner re-
sided in the State. The County Commissioners or Circuit Court for the
county in which proceedings may be pending, at any time before a final
decision is made, may upon application of any party thereto, grant leave,
in their discretion to said parties to amend the petition, or any part of the
proceedings thereunder that may be defective or informal so as to bring
the merits of the case before said County Commissioners or jury of the
Circuit Court for trial, and may award costs in their discretion, according
to the right of the matter.

1920, ch. 507, sec. 81AT.

129. If any person feeling himself aggrieved by any determination of
the County Commissioners, or by any proceedings had under this sub-title
relating to drains, may appeal to the Circuit Court of the county in which
such determination was made or proceedings were had, and shall be en-
titled to trial by jury, at the election of either party; provided, such appeal
shall be taken within, thirty days from the day such determination was
made or such proceedings were had; and the judgment rendered thereupon
shall be final between the parties thereto.
