When the whole amount of payments, including payments for joint 

 ownership, compensation and other dues to the commune, and indemnities 

 and compensation due from the commune, surpasses the total sum of the 

 expenses to be shared, the commune is obliged to pay this sum to the pro- 

 prietors. 



Interested persons should prove their rights as soon as these can be 

 defined, and should do so as far as possible before the commission for redis- 

 tribution or the district commission. Failing this, these commissions 

 may charge them with the costs consequent on their tardj^ action. 



4. Drawing up and Fixing the Plans for Redistribution. — The commis- 

 sion must draw up a plan for redistribution with a map, showing the former 

 and the new sites of the properties, and giving the details of redistribution, 

 and all other indications as to indemnities, payments for joint ownership, 

 compensations and contributions for redistribution. The commission will 

 discuss this plan and the map with those interested in it who must appear 

 at the meeting and defend their interests. Among them the local police, 

 who must be enabled to give weight to their interests, must not be forgotten. 

 In so far as the interests of the police are involved the plan for allotment 

 should be made as much as possible in agreement with the police. 



The commission will legislate as to the establishment of the plan for 

 allotment and the map, and especially as to the m.odifications and additions 

 which those interested may claim. In case of need it will rectify and com- 

 plete the plan and map as it may resolve. The plan will mention the results 

 of arrangements with interested persons as often as these are not opposed 

 to the end followed. For such resolutions there m.ust be present, in addition 

 to the president, at least an expert architect, a certified geometrist, an ad- 

 ministrative official and an expert for the valuation of the real estate. 

 If the president is not a jurisconsult, able to exercise the functions of a 

 judge, a second representative, nominated by the Higher President and 

 capable of exercising such functions, must be present. 



When once the resolution has been passed the plan and map will be 

 communicated to each interested person, the parcels assigned to him being 

 pointed out ; and the plan and map will be available for public inspection. 

 There will be an interval of two weeks during which complaints may be 

 made to the president of the commission. 



If it be necessary to suppress or redistribute public roads the authority 

 of the police of the roads rrust be advised. Opposition to such suppres- 

 sion and redistribution should be made during the course of the proceedings. 



If complaints are made against the plan the commission should endea- 

 vour to meet them by negotiation. If this cannot be done the action taken 

 and the discussion should be submitted to the district commission which 

 decides in the last resort. 



5. Appeals. — To safeguard rights to indemnities in cash those interested 

 may appeal against the plan for allotment from the moment of its determi- 

 nation. Appeals will be received during an interval of two months coim- 

 ting the day of allotment. In the case of those interested persons who 

 ought to be informed of the declaration of assignment, this interval lasts
