Any party aggrieved by the award made as provided in section 24-05-11 shall have the remedy now provided by law for an appeal from any determination of the board of county commissioners in the taking of lands by a county for highway purposes. Appeal from such award must be taken without bond and by the service of a notice of appeal on the board of county commissioners in the manner in which a summons in a civil action is served. The issues involved in the appeal so taken must be tried and determined at the next term of the district court. The damages must be assessed by a jury, unless a trial by jury is waived, and no fees may be collected by the clerk of the district court for the filing of said appeal.
