When the sale of the sixteenth section is legally ordered, and it appears to the satisfaction of the parish treasurer that any person had settled and improved the section or any part thereof prior to the extension of the survey over it, the treasurer shall appoint one appraiser; the settler or his agent may appoint another; the two shall select a third; and the three, after being sworn, shall assess the improvements put upon the lands, and the value of the use of the land.

In all cases the assent of a majority of the legal voters within the township shall be given to the provisions of this Part which shall be taken at the same time that the votes are taken for the sale of the land.
