mitted by the owner or proprietor of the land to and be approved by the

thirty days after it has been. submitted for approval, either party may,

municipality without having been approved or disapproved by the other,
as provided in this article, then the plat shall be submitted to the other
party for approval or disapproval, and if such other party fails to dis-
approve such plat within forty-five days after the giving of such notice,
the plat shall be deemed to be approved; provided that an appeal shall
ie fo the circuit court of the county from disapproval of such plat in such
atter event.
