Notes:
Trustees of a town site have no authority to make a deed before tract has been surveyed and platted into lots and blocks, streets and alleys, nor are they authorized to make deed to portion of a street or alley, or to execute deeds to lots otherwise than as they are surveyed and platted.
One who takes possession of a town lot by force or fraud, or maintains occupancy as the tenant of another, is not thereby invested with a right to a deed, as against either his landlord or the rightful claimant.
