LAND TRACTS - RELATING TO
                 Act of Apr. 28, 1899, P.L. 123, No. 101              Cl. 68
                                  AN ACT

     To amend the act, entitled "An act providing for the recording
        of plans of all subdivisions of any lot or piece of land into
        building lots heretofore laid out, or hereafter to be laid
        out, for the purpose of selling more according to such plans,
        and prescribing penalties for failure to record such plans,"
        approved the twenty-eighth day of May, one thousand eight
        hundred and ninety-five, so as to enlarge the scope thereof.

        Section 2.  Proceedings in case of lost or destroyed plan
        After notice has been served upon any owner, or the legal
     representative thereof, to record any plan of subdivision of any
     tract of land, as aforesaid, said owner, or legal
     representatives thereof, may, within sixty days prescribed in
     said notice, present a petition to the court of common pleas of
     the proper county, setting forth, under oath, that the plan of
     subdivision of the land required to be recorded as described in
     said notice is lost or destroyed; whereupon said court shall
     order said petition filed and that no proceedings shall be begun
     to collect any penalty under the provisions of this act, and at
     the same time the said court shall further order that a plan of
     the subdivision described in said notice shall be made and filed
     in said court within a reasonable time to be fixed by said
     court. Upon the filing of said plan, said court shall refer the
     same to an examiner, who will ascertain and report whether or
     not the plan of the subdivision of the said tract of land agrees
     in lines, course and distance with the descriptions contained in
     the deeds, or agreements, conveying title to parts of said tract
     of land conveyed previous to the petition being filed.  If it
     appears from the examiner's report that such plan of subdivision
     and the description of the conveyances made from said tract of
     land agree, the court shall order the plan of the subdivision
     recorded in the recorder's office; if it shall appear that there
     are discrepancies between the lines, courses and distances
     appearing upon said plan of subdivision in the deeds conveying
     parts of the tract of land described, such discrepancies shall
     be marked upon plan as submitted, and said plan with the
     discrepancies marked upon the same shall be ordered recorded in
     the recorder's office, as aforesaid. 1899, April 28, P.L. 123,
