A WoRDY WAR.
Shortly before adjournment there was
a Wordy war between County Recorder
Llppman and Selectman Morris, aris-
ing out of request made by the
! former for a printed record book
Printed record books consist of deeds
and mortgages Of a kind that are most
! frequently used by the public; they
greatly facilitate the work of the re-
! corder's Office and make the most legl-
bic record possible. In 1883 the legisla-
ture passed law reading as follows:
The county court of each county
shall, from time to time, as may be
necessary, provide the recorder q such
county with we'll bound books, properly
ruled, necessary to the execution of the
duties OF his Office. They may procure
books of printed forms to be filed up
in the recording of any instrument,
when the same may be done without
interlineation or erasure, and shall in
all cases, when practicable. procure the
necessary index and abstract books
with printed headings. The cost of
such books shall be paid by the
county,"
Under this law Lippnnan applied to
the county clerk yesterday for a
printed deed record. He was told by
requested him to refer any future
acquisitions from the recorder under
that law to the court accordingly
Lippman went before the court and
there was quite a hot war of words
between Morris, who acted as spokes-
man for the court, III the absence of
Judge Blair, and Lippmdn.
Morris moved to print the record with
only the statutory form of mortgage,
but with no other printed NOR gage,
Lippman read the law and promptly
stated that the court could not say
what should go in the printed record
book; that that was a matter entirely
within the province Of he recorder
after the court had allowed the reQuisi-
ton for printed record. If the legis-
lature had intended that only the
statutory form deed AMI rip~teage
could be placed in printed record form,
they could readily nave sail SO and
would not have used the words
printed forms, which evidently
meant more than one form. Iiesides,
the statutory form deeds and mort
cages, do not contain enc hundred
words and Lippman contended it would
be quicker to write the whole instru-
ment out than to use such printed
form alone.
Mr.. Lippman told the court that he
did not want such a printed record as
Morris's motion contemplated and here
the matter dropped.
1t is highly probable that Mr. Lipp-
man will furnish his own printed
records hereafter in such quantities as
he may need. This would make the
records of a very ununiform size
especially if he should have only forty
or fifty pages in a book, instead of six
hundred as at present and if he should
make the size sof the sheet smaller than
those used in the present records. Mr.
Lippman claimed before the court, that
his predecessors in Office, Messrs Can,
non and John H. Runel, Jr., both used
printed records and that he himself
has had at least eight or ten printed
since he has been in Office. 1t would
be a great pity if by reason of some
Ipetty spite against.a subordinate official
the county court should permit the
uniformity of the records and theil
rapid inspection by the public to be
. interfered with.
