According to the provisions of this Ordinance, whenever any land is sold, leased or alienated by the State the Minister may cause the boundaries of such land to be defined by permanent marks. It shall be the duty of the owner or occupier of any land to keep said marks in good repair. The Government Agent shall, when State landmarks have been replaced or repaired or the boundary line has been defined to his satisfaction, grant a certificate to that effect to the owner or occupier (art. 7). Further provisions concern the placing or repair of landmarks for adjoining lots, the procedure in case of dispute, the issue of certificates of expenses by the Government Agent, offences and penalties.
