In the event the petition as filed shows and the court or chancellor in vacation finds that said district has not paid off all of its outstanding indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, but owns easements, rights of way, canals, ditches, drains, or other property which can be sold for an amount equal to its fair cash market value which will enable said district to pay off and discharge its outstanding indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, the court or chancellor in vacation is in such event authorized, considering the best interests of the landowners and of said district, to enter an interlocutory order dissolving said district and directing its affairs to be wound up, which order shall be made final, either by the court in term time or by the chancellor in vacation, upon the property of said district being sold and all of its outstanding indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, being fully paid and discharged. To this end the court or chancellor in vacation is hereby authorized and empowered to make and enter all interlocutory decrees or orders that it might deem advisable and necessary to make; to divest the title out of said district in and to any and all easements, rights of way, canals, ditches, drains, or other property owned by said district and vest the same in a special commissioner to be appointed by the court or chancellor in vacation to sell the same on such terms and at such an amount as the court or chancellor in vacation finds to be for the best interest of the landowners and said district; and to direct said commissioner to convey any or all of said property to the purchaser at the price and on the terms authorized, to collect the same, and to pay therefrom any and all of the outstanding indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, as directed by the court or chancellor in vacation. The court or chancellor in vacation is hereby authorized to appoint masters or commissioners of the court to wind up the affairs of said district under its direction, and to make any and all interlocutory orders that might be necessary to be made for the purpose of dissolving said district and directing its affairs to be wound up.
