ABSTRACT
IN olden times each man had an allotment of land assigned to him by measurement, defined and tax-rated, so that there should be no uncertainty about his ownership of what he had received and must pay for in taxes. However, if the chance of gaining a larger and more fertile area of land presents itself nowadays, every man, without doing violence to his neighbour, strives as much as his strength and wits will allow to add some thing extra to the piece of ground he has obtained.
