§ 67. Hearing. On the day specified in the order, and before any other
proceedings are taken in the matter, the petitioner must present to the
court, and file with the clerk, proof, to the satisfaction of the court,
that the order has been published and served, as prescribed in the last
section; and thereupon, on the same day, or upon the day to which the
hearing is adjourned, the court must hear the allegations and proofs of
the parties appearing. Proof of personal service of a copy of the order
upon any person, must be made, in like manner as proof of the personal
service of a summons, in an action brought in the supreme court.
