9-32-19. Acquisition of additional land for municipal cemetery.
Whenever the municipality operating a cemetery, perpetual care, or nonperpetual care, under the laws of this state, finds it necessary to extend the boundaries of such cemetery or acquire land removed from the present cemetery in order to provide for the burial of the dead, it shall first locate and describe clearly the location and extent of the land desired. The municipality shall then seek to secure the same by offer of purchase. If, however, the owner or owners of such tract or tracts shall refuse to sell the lands described for proper and just compensation and by exorbitant price shall make it impractical for such municipality to purchase the same, such municipality may proceed to have the land located and described by it condemned as provided in the statutes and rules of court for condemnation of private property for public use.
