<p>Map op Town Addition—Implication op Survey not Expressed—Disputed Boundary op Lots—Evidence op Stakes.—A map of an addition to a town implies that the addition has been surveyed, and that the map is based upon such survey, and that such survey was marked upon the ground so that the streets, blocks, and lots can be identified, although the map may contain no express reference to such survey; and in an action involving the location and boundary of lots described upon such map, evidence is admissible to identify the survey, and to show the location of stakes which were placed upon the ground by the surveyor, to mark the boundaries of the lots in controversy.</p>
