RECONSTRUCTION AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OP WAR 63 



for two months after they are thus informed. If a representative and cu- 

 rator has been nominated he should make the appeal against the commune 

 and the commune against him. 



6. Execution of the Plan for Allotment. — An appeal does not suspend 

 the execution of the plan for allotment, which ensues when the district 

 commission has resolved on a declaration of assignment. This resolution 

 indicates the day on which rights will be transferred in as far as the redis- 

 tributed real estate is concerned. At least a week will elapse between the 

 resolution and the transference. The declaration of assignments must be 

 communicated to all interested in it and published without delay, in con- 

 formity with local custom, by the mvinicipality. From the time of such 

 publication the contents of the plan of allotment will have effect. Pre- 

 vious property rights in the redistributed real estate are extinguished. At 

 the same time the real estate is emanicipated from all charges and restric- 

 tions on private right. It loses in particular the status of tnist or family 

 estate, and ceases to be held in fee or burdened because of a loan. The 

 transference of rights is therefore complete ; but exception must be made of 

 the hereditary right of exploitation, as in the case of a mine, of services, the 

 rights of redemption and pre-emption, and of charges on the real estate 

 which do not consist merely of dues in money or kind or personal service 

 — all this saving in the case of other provision in the plan for allotment. 



The office of the land book must register, at the commission's request, 

 changes which occur, transferences of rights and charges, and any creation 

 of new charges. 



In so far as the deposit and employment of cash indemnities are con- 

 cerned, where real estate is held in trust, as a family property or in fee, or 

 is burdened because of a loan or by real estate charges, mortgages, debts 

 on the land or rents, the provisions of articles 37 and 38 and 47 to 49 of 

 the law on the expropriation of real estate, dated 11 June 1874, and the 

 provisions of articles 35 to 41 of the law as to the imperial law on forced 

 awards and administration, dated 23 September 1899, will be applied by 

 analogy, except that instead of the proprietor of the real estate the com- 

 mission for redistribution may equally, in the case of article 49 of the first 

 of the laws mentioned, call upon the competent authority to bring about 

 the liquidation. 



7. Complementary Plan for Allotment. — Tliir plan is applicable to fur- 

 ther distributions of assets and liabilities to which the procedure followed 

 may give rise. The principle of a further distribution among the new pro- 

 prietors is also applicable to contributions which cannot be recovered. Re- 

 coveries will be made in the same conditions as the administrative proce- 

 dure for coercion at the request of the commune. When the obligations 

 resulting on payments for joint ownership, benefactors or contributions 

 have been met, the office of the land book will cancel the correspondent 

 entries.
