(70 ILCS 2805/87) (from Ch. 42, par. 447.51)
Sec. 87.
Report to court, notice of hearing,
certificate of board as prima facie evidence and order. In
every assessment proceeding in which the assessment is
divided into installments, the committee of local improvements shall state
in the certificate whether or not the improvement conforms
substantially to the requirements of the original ordinance
for the construction of the improvements and shall make an
application to the court to consider and determine whether
or not the facts stated in the certificate are true.
Thereupon the court, upon such an application, shall fix a
time and place for a hearing upon the application, and shall
record the application. The time of this hearing shall be
not less than 15 days after the filing of the certificate
and application. Public notice shall be given at least
twice of the time and place fixed for that hearing by
publishing in a newspaper, in the same manner and for the
same period as provided in this Act for publishing notice of
application for the confirmation of the original assessment,
the publication of this notice to be not more than 30 nor
less than 15 days before the day fixed by the order for that
hearing.
At the time and place fixed by the notice or at any
time thereafter, the court shall proceed to hear the
application and any objection which may be filed thereto
within the time fixed in the order. Upon the hearing the
specified certificate of the committee shall be prima facie
evidence that the matters and things stated are true, but if
any part thereof is controverted by objections duly filed
thereto, the court shall hear and determine the objections
in a summary manner and shall enter an order according to
the fact.
