## Opinion text

FOURNET, Chief Justice
(concurring).
In my opinion the description in the deed, particularly when it recites that “The property herein conveyed constitutes tract No. 91 on 5 certain plats, or maps * * * ” —which unquestionably include the property in controversy here — makes the deed translative of title. However, inasmuch as I agree with the majority view that according to the facts in this case the Levee Board is in legal bad faith, I concur in the holding that the plea of ten years’ prescription acquirendi causa must fail.
