One Hundred Farmers Receive the Survey Records for their Parcels

This short record closes a chain that the rest of the Camp-Perrin material opens. The commune profile of August 2015 set out the territory to be recorded; the January 2015 note documented owners verifying their parcels at the CIAT local office; and on 9 July 2016, at Rolin, a hundred farmers were handed the procès-verbaux d'arpentage for their own land. A survey record is not a freehold title, and the distinction should be kept clear, but in a country where most rural holdings rest on undocumented and undivided inheritance, a formal survey record naming a holder and a boundary is a substantial improvement in position. The value of this document to the library is evidentiary: it fixes a date, a place and a number on an intervention that the program papers otherwise describe only in the future tense.
