When an incorporated cemetery association wishes to enlarge the limits of its burial ground, and votes to purchase additional land for burial purposes and the owner of such land refuses to convey the same to such cemetery association for a reasonable compensation, the trustees or president of such association, by a petition in writing, may apply to the Superior Court in the county in which such burial ground is located for the appointment of commissioners. (Amended 1973, No. 193 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 9, 1974.)
