The commissioners shall give the several districts interested at least five (5) days' notice of the filing of their report. Unless exceptions are filed thereto by any district interested within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof, the same shall be confirmed by the court absolutely. Any sum awarded by said report to any school district shall be a legal and valid claim in its favor against the school district charged therewith. The amount of debt, if any, apportioned to any school district shall be a legal and valid claim against such district charged therewith. Upon the report of the commissioners being confirmed, such claims or indebtedness charged against any school district may be collected in the same manner as a judgment is collected against any school district.

Such commissioners shall be allowed three dollars ($3) per day for each day actually spent by them in the performance of their duties, together with their actual necessary expenses. All costs and expenses of such proceeding shall be apportioned by the court, to and among the several school districts, as it shall deem proper.
