Act No. 2777 Section 4

Section 4

SEC. 4. Immediately after the final approval of this Act, the Director of Lands shall proceed to fix the total expense incurred in each of the reservations referred to in the present Act, as regards their survey, the publication of notices announcing the creation of said reservations, and other expenses inherent to the same. As soon as such cost shall have been fixed, the Director of Lands shall appoint for each province where such a reservation exists a committee composed of one of the inspectors of said office, the provincial treasurer, and a member of the provincial board concerned. It shall be the duty of such committee to distribute the total cost fixed by the Director of Lands pro rata among the parcels comprised in each reservation, taking into consideration, upon making such distribution, the size of each parcel, the facility or difficulty of surveying the same, its real value in relation to its location, and other details which, in the judgment of the Director of Lands, must be considered by the committee in order that the distribution made by the same may be the most just and equitable. The portion of the cost assigned by the committee to each parcel, once approved by the Director of Lands, shall be paid by the claimant of such parcel.
