Sec. 1014. Survey and plan of cities and towns to be
made and recorded; effect of plan as evidence.
The council of every city and town shall (unless it has already
been done) cause to be made a survey and plan of such city or
town, showing distinctly each lot, public street, and alley therein,
the size and number of the lots, and the width of the streets and
alleys, with such explanations or remarks as they may deem
proper. The said plan, when approved by the council, shall be
entered in some one of their books, and afterwards recorded, in
the case of a city, in the clerk's office of the Corporation or Hustings
Court of such city, and in case of a town, in the clerk's office
of the county in which said town or the greater part thereof
is, and when so recorded shall remain in said office. Said plan
shall be
prima facie evidence of the boundaries of the said lots,
streets and alleys.
