any community without adequate facilities for the disposal of
sewerage, and said Commissioners may deem it inexpedient to
construct a sewerage system at the expense of said community
,or at public expense, as hereinbefore provided, and there is or

Board of Health shall investigate such conditions, and if, after

order and an opportunity given them to be heard, said State
Board of Health shall determine the sewerage conditions and

pass an order so declaring, and directing the owners or occu-

such reasonable manner as by said order may be prescribed to
connect their respective premises with said private sewerage
system; a duly certified copy of which said order shall be trans-
mitted by said State Board of Health to the County Commis-

titled to a jury trial upon the issue involved in such appeal; pro-
vided, if no such appeal shall be taken within the period afore-
said, said order shall become final as to all persons affected
thereby and not appealing therefrom. Upon such appeal there
shall be three issues presented to the jury—first, whether or not
the public health requires that the appellant should be com-
pelled to connect his premises with such private sewerage sys-
