Such property owners shall report, in writing, their doings to said court, and all persons interested therein may appear and remonstrate against the acceptance of such report, for any irregularity or improper conduct. If such report is accepted, it shall be conclusive except as to the matter of damages and said court may order the draining of such land in accordance with the report.
