Whenever the riparian owner of any property in incorporated towns or cities is entitled to the right of accretion, and more batture has been formed in front of his land than is necessary for public use, which the corporation withholds from him, he shall have the right to institute action against the corporation for so much of the batture as may not be necessary for public use.
