H. Phillips were approved of by the said master of titles under the authority vested in him by the said The Special Surveys Act by order dated the thirtieth day of May, A.D. 1914; and Whereas the said plans of the said special survey were, by the said order of the master of titles ordered to be substituted for the said plan B-1856 (Q) and for all former plans or surveys of the said blocks 122 to 127 which were previously registered; and Whereas the said master of titles did, by his said order, fix the compensation properly awardable for damages to property occasioned by the adoption of the said special survey under the provisions of the said The Special Surveys Act to the different complainants whose complaints were heard by him under the provisions of the said Act and did adjudge certain parties named in the said order liable for the payment of the said compensation; and Whereas by the said order the costs of the said survey were fixed and provision was made thereby for assessing such costs according to the provisions of the said The Special Surveys Act against certain lots covered by the said special survey the same being specifically mentioned in schedule A to the said order; and Whereas the said The Special Surveys Act provides that special surveys thereunder shall be made for the purpose of correcting an error, or supposed error, in respect of any existing survey or plan, but doubts have arisen as to whether the said special survey of the said blocks 122 to 127 did not go farther than the correction of errors, or supposed errors, and amount to a partial resubdivision of the said blocks; and Whereas the said special survey has been accepted by the council of the said city and by nearly all the residents and owners of the land in the said blocks 122 to 127, and all streets and civic improvements together with the majority of houses and other buildings situated thereon have been laid out, constructed and built in accordance with the said special survey; and Whereas it is in the best interests of the said city and of the majority of the owners and residents of the said blocks 122 to 127 that the said special survey should be validated and confirmed and the said city has by its petition prayed for an Act for that purpose; and Whereas it is expedient to grant the prayer of the said petition: Therefore his Majesty by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan enacts as follows: 1.
