Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. If an assessor, upon an examination of title deeds, ascertains that certain property is that designated by a certain municipal numerical number in a certain square fixed also by number bounded by four named streets with measurements to the lot substantially correct, and makes his assessment thereof according to such numbers and description, he as fully and much more conveniently fixes the identity of the property, as he would by following the description thereof given in the act by which It was purchased.</p> <p>The latter description is frequently long and involved and fixes the identity of the property, by reference to numbers of plans and maps, difficult to be found and frequently lost.</p> <p>The assessor is not bound to describe the lot as No. 12 of a certain plan, made by Pil e, when in point of fact it is Municipal Lot No. 6, of Square No. 494, bounded by Elysian Fields, Marais, Marginy and Urquhart streets.</p>
