one of its directors, and shall set forth all claims and demands against it, and that its dissolution was resolved upon by a majority

such municipality or city.
Section 3. Hearing, dissolution, and disposition of assets. Receiver. Upon five (5) days notice given after the date on which
the right to file objections as fixed in the order expired, the court shall proceed to hear the petition and try any issue made by
objections filed; and if no such objection is sufficient, and the material allegations of the petition are true, it shall render judgment

such assets and pay the debts of the corporation.
Section 4. What shall constitute record. The petition, orders, proof of publication and posting, objections filed, declaration of
