missioners by filing a certificate with the Clerk of the Court
showing the courses and distances of the whole town as extend-
ed, and said limits and the location of the streets and thorough-
fares of the town, as now established, may be proved by any
survey which may appear to have been made by a competent
surveyor although such surveyor may be dead and the evidence
of his capacity to do such work or of his hand writing may not
be able to be shown by living witnesses, provided, however,
that the document or a blue print of the same offered as evi-
dence shall show on its face the limits of said town and the
streets and thoroughfares therein with such a degree of accuracy
as would be recognized and judged to be correct by the older
inhabitants of the town or such other persons familiar with the
limits and the streets and thoroughfares of the town, and such
survey document or blue print of the same shall be received as
evidence in any Court of law or Equity in this State; and the

tions necessary to manage and control the same.

a surveyor mentioned in the preceding section and to provide
for the paving of the said streets and the sidewalks thereof
and for keeping the same in repair, and for the proper drainage
of said streets, lanes and alleys, and for that purpose to con-
struct sewers, drains and culverts when necessary.
