§50-17.
   
   In cases where it is deemed impractical summarily to abate any such
   nuisance such city or town may bring suit in the district court of the
   county in which such nuisance is located, and it is hereby made the
   duty of the governing body of any such city or town, by the adoption
   of a resolution to direct the bringing of suit in the proper court for
   the purpose of abating any such nuisance. The district court of the
   county in which any such nuisance exists or is maintained shall have
   jurisdiction of any such case and power to adjudge and determine any
   action brought under the provisions hereof, and where it is adjudged
   that any such nuisance exists or is maintained and should be abated,
   such court shall have the power and authority either by and through a
   commissioner appointed by such court, or otherwise, to cause such
   nuisance to be abated and to assess all the costs thereof, including
   the costs of suit, against the property on which such nuisance existed
   or is maintained, and to declare such costs a judgment against said
   property and order and direct the sale of said property for the
   purpose of satisfying said judgment and shall cause the same to be
   sold and proceeds thereof applied to the payment of the costs of
   abating any such nuisance.
