If the thing in usufruct shall be expropriated for reasons of public utility, the owner shall be obliged, either to replace it with another thing of the same value, and having similar conditions, or to pay the usufructuary the legal interest on the amount of the indemnity during all the time the usufruct continues. If the owner chooses the latter course, he shall give security for the interest.\nHistory —Civil Code, 1930, § 447.
