The commissioners shall specify in their report each tract of land by reasonable description and the ownership of the tract as it appears on the tax books of the county or as it has been previously adjudged in the proceeding. Any objection to such assessment and apportionment shall be filed in writing with the county clerk on or before twelve o'clock (12:00) noon of the day the matter of the assessment and apportionment is set for hearing by the court. The assessment may be made without notice, as taxes are assessed without notice in such cases; but publication shall be made in three (3) weekly newspapers published in the county where the proceeding is pending, if there are that number published in the county, otherwise in at least one (1) weekly newspaper, for two (2) consecutive weeks, notifying all parties, concerned in any way, of the date set for hearing the matter of assessment and apportionment by the court, when they may appear and be heard, if they desire. The last of the publications shall be at least five (5) days before the day set for the hearing, and the publication shall be in lieu and stead of notice personally served, but shall not give the names of the parties, but only a brief statement of the date and purpose of such hearing.
