situated to correct such plat, or any portion thereof, when the same has been erroneously made by duplicating lot numbers in any block or incorrectly describing the distances on said plat or when the same is, in any manner, incorrect in description or otherwise. And the court in correcting the same, may correct the description of property in any conveyance of a lot or lots, where the plat is corrected, which may be necessary for the purpose of making a complete and correct descriptive chain of title to the lot, or lots, the description of which is corrected.

Parties to Suit.

Section 2. The petitioner shall make the record owners, at the time of commencing the suit of all the lots within the block sought to be corrected parties defendant, if the object of the suit be to correct one block or any portion thereof. If the object of the suit be to correct a greater portion of such plat than one block, then the record owners, at the time of commencing such suit, of the lots within the area sought to be corrected and the city or town within which the plat is located shall be made parties defendant. Such record owners shall be the only necessary parties to such suit; provided, however, the city or town within which the plat is located be made a party if the object of the suit be to correct a greater portion than one block or if in correcting one block, the streets and alleys of such city shall thereby be affected.

Notice of Suit-How Given-Preliminary Showing.

Section 3. Service of summons in said action may be had upon the defendants personally or by publication as is provided by law in civil actions, but where the record owners are numerous, such action may be maintained in the name of one or more lot owners for the benefit of all the owners of property within the area of that portion of the plat affected by the correction sought to be made and the publication of a notice issued by the clerk of the court and addressed to whom it may concern for the time provided for

in service by publication in civil actions and fixing the answer day as is provided for by law, in civil actions, in summons by publication, shall be sufficient to give such court jurisdiction to make the correction; provided, however, such notice shall set out the error sought to be corrected and the manner in which it is proposed to correct the same. And provided further, that such notice shall not be issued by the clerk until there has been filed in his office an affidavit by one of the petitioners, his agent or attorney, that the record owners of lots in the area of the plat sought to be corrected are so numerous that it is impracticable and expensive to make them all parties defendant and to get service on them in the ordinary manner, and that the correction sought to be made will not injure or destroy any property rights of such owners, but will be beneficial to the owners of lots in such area sought to be corrected.

Emergency.

Section 4. It being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, by reason whereof this act shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and approval.
