Section 5
SEC. 5. When the lands have been surveyed and platted the Director of Lands, represented by the Attorney-General, shall file in the Court of Land Registration a petition against the holders, claimants, possessors or occupants of such lands or any part thereof, stating in substance that the public interests require that the titles to such lands be settled and adjudicated, and praying that such titles be so settled and adjudicated. The petition shall contain a description of the lands in question and shall be accompanied by a plan thereof, and may contain such other data as may serve to furnish full notice to the occupants of the lands and to all persons who may claim any right or interest therein. If the lands contain two or more parcels held or occupied by different persons the plan shall indicate the boundaries or limits of the various parcels as correctly as may be. The parcels shall be known as "lots" and shall on the plans filed in the case be given separate numbers by the Director of Lands, which numbers shall be known as "cadastral numbers." The lots situated within each cadastral numbers, nicipality, township or settlement, shall, as far as practicable be numbered consecutively, beginning with the number "V and only one series of numbers shall be used for that purpose in each municipality, township or settlement: Provided, however, That in cities or townsites a designation of the land holdings by block and lot numbers may be employed instead of the designation by cadastral numbers and shall have the same effect for all purposes as the latter.
