§ 121. Commissioners of appraisal to be appointed. Upon such

presentation, such court shall, after hearing any person owning or

claiming an interest in the lands to be acquired who may appear, appoint

commissioner of appraisal shall at any time decline to serve, or shall

die, or for any cause become disqualified or disabled from serving as

as the court may prescribe, appoint another person similarly qualified,

to fill the vacancy caused thereby.
