    §  5-321  Final decree; preparation thereof; what to contain. a. After
  considering the objections,  if  any,  and  making  any  corrections  or
  alterations in the tentative decree as to awards for damage, the justice
  trying the proceeding shall give instructions to the corporation counsel
  as  to the preparation of the final decree. Such decree shall consist of
  the tentative decree, altered  and  corrected  in  accordance  with  the
  instructions  of  the justice; of the final awards, as determined by the
  court, set opposite the respective damage parcel  numbers  in  a  column
  headed  "final award" in the tabular abstract of awards for damage; of a
  statement of the facts conferring upon the  court  jurisdiction  of  the
  proceeding;  and  of such other matters as the court shall require to be
  set forth. The final decree shall also  contain  a  statement  that  the
  amounts  set opposite the respective damage parcel numbers in the column
  headed "final awards" in the  tabular  abstract  of  awards  for  damage
  constitute and are the just compensation which the respective owners are
  entitled to receive from the city. The final decree shall also set forth
  the  names of the respective owners of the several parcels acquired, but
  in all cases where the owners are unknown or  not  fully  known  to  the
  court, it shall be sufficient to set forth and state in general terms in
  the  decree  the respective sums to be allowed and paid to the owners of
  the respective parcels for loss  and  damage  without  specifying  their
  names or their estates or interests therein, and in such case the owners
  may be specified as unknown.
    b.  To  the final decree shall be attached the surveys, diagrams, maps
  or plans  referred  to  in  subdivision  a  of  section  5-315  of  this
  subchapter,  duly corrected, when necessary. Such decree shall set forth
  the several parcels taken by reference to the numbers of such parcels on
  the respective surveys, diagrams, maps or plans, and  it  shall  not  be
  necessary to describe any parcels acquired by metes and bounds.
    c. Should any errors exist in the tentative decree, or in the surveys,
  diagrams, maps or plans attached thereto, or should there occur, between
  the  date  of  the  tentative  decree and the time of the signing by the
  court of the final decree, any changes in ownership resulting in changes
  in the size of area, by subdivision or otherwise, of any of the  parcels
  of any real property to be acquired, the court may alter and correct the
  respective surveys, diagrams, maps or plans to show such changes in such
  final  decree.  At  the time of the entry of the final decree, the court
  shall direct that the maps furnished to the corporation counsel  in  the
  proceeding  shall  be revised and altered in agreement with the tax maps
  as of the date of the entry of such decree.
