1213
. At the time and place specified in the order to show cause,
or at such other time and place as, for good cause, is otherwise
ordered by the commission, the commission shall proceed to a hearing
upon the petition or order on the commission's own motion. When the
proceeding has been submitted the commission shall make and file its
finding upon the question whether the use to which the property or
interest therein is to be applied is a use authorized by law and
whether the taking is necessary to such use, and shall make and file
its written finding fixing the just compensation to be paid for the
property or interest. If the commission finds that severance damages
should be paid, the just compensation for such damages shall be found
and stated separately. The just compensation shall be fixed by the
commission as of the day on which the petition was filed or the order
on the commission's own motion was made.
