1. The court or judge trying the cause may refer any questions of fact arising therein to a master or commissioner for findings and determination, and the findings of such master or commissioner shall be subject to review by such court or judge.

2. The court or judge before whom the cause is tried shall have full jurisdiction over all questions that may be properly at issue upon the pleadings, including such issues that may arise by reason of any conflict between the lots, blocks, streets, alleys, highways, parks, cemeteries, schools and other public properties, or the lines or corners thereof, as shown by the map or maps, or plat or plats, filed with the complaint, and the rights or alleged rights of any one or more of the owners of any of the property described in the complaint or embraced in the map or maps, or plat or plats.

3. In the event that it is necessary, for the purpose of fixing and establishing the map or maps, or plat or plats, to devote any pieces or parcels of property owned by any of the defendants within the city, subdivision or addition to public uses as streets or alleys, it shall be proper for the court or judge to appoint three appraisers, who shall appraise and assess the value of such property, and the court may condition the approval of such map or plat on the payment or proper tender by plaintiff to such party defendant of such assessed sum. Any two of such three appraisers shall be competent to act, and their appraisement or assessment shall be subject to review by the court.
