§5054. Plan correcting discrepancy between prior plan and lots sold thereunder; objections; registration of corrected plan
Whenever land, divided into town lots and sold in conformity with a plan, is not of the same extent as that mentioned in the plan, and the difference is more than one thousandth part, the surveyor, commissioned for the parish where said land is situated, shall apportion, in conformity with the civil code, the surplus or deficit of the land, and make a plan pointing out, according to the apportionment, the correct dimensions of each square and the breadth of each street. The plan shall be deposited by the surveyor of the parish in the office of parish recorder. Public notices shall be given by the surveyor in a newspaper published in the parish designated as the official journal or in an adjoining parish if there is none published in the parish, during thirty days, directing all persons interested to present their opposition to the plan deposited as aforesaid with the parish recorder, which oppositions shall be referred to and decided by the district court. The plan, when not opposed within the delay aforesaid, or when modified in the opposition filed, shall be registered by the recorder in his office, and shall be authentic evidence of the description and dimensions of the property.
