with the clerk of the county, the county commissioners may, with the

approval of the judge of the county or district court, of the county

purchase from the owners thereof such abstracts, copies, minutes or

extracts, or such part thereof as may tend to show a connected chain

of title to the land in such county, including all such judgments

and decrees as form a part of any such chain of title, paying

therefor such fair and reasonable price as may be agreed upon

between them and such owners; the amount thus agreed to be paid for
