TITLE EXAMINERS
MAY CONSOLIDATE.
Movement Projected to Combine
investigating Departments Of
Local Trust Companies.
PLANS OF THE PROMOTERS.
Would Loan Money on Real Estate
and Thereby Effect a Heavy
Saving In Present EX-
penditures.
PLANS OF THE PROMOTERS

Another movement is on foot TO consoli.
date the title investigators and the title in
vcstigating departments Of several trust
| companies OF ST. Louis. Within the last
several years attempts have been made &c
effect such a consolidation. but the move
ment was never successful.
1t is said that the plan now on foot has
taken n more definite shape than ever be-
fore. but that II the consolidation be not ef-
fected within a week or two the promoters
OF the scheme will abandon their efforts.
The reason advanced for the consolidation
rs that IL viii mean a saving Of money 10
every company and individual having occa-
sion to investigate titles. The idea is TO IS
tablish one title investigating company and
TO have that company conduct a business of
loaninC money on real estate in connection
with the business OF investigating titles.
10th transactions being made at the same
time. n eaving Of money would result. say
the promoters Of the consolidation scsheme.
Under the present conditions money lenders
must go 10 the expense OF investigating the
titles 10 the property. a proceeding involving
considerable expenditure.
Attorney Eben Richards represents the
promoters of the consolidation scheme. but
who they are he refused TO say.
Judge George w. Lubke. director and
counsel OF the Lincoln Trust Company, said
that negotiations looking to such a CONSOLE
dalton have been in progress for the last
four or five months. A representative of
the prOmters OF the scheme had approached
him, he said. but he does not believe any
thing definite has been done by the people
working for the consolidation. When asked
II he thought the deal would go through he
laughed and said: Money, you know. can
get almost anything"
Thomas II. West, president OF the st.
Louis Trust Company. said that he did not
know anything about the consolidation prof.
ect. such talk comes up about once a
month" he said. but 1 do not believe there
is anything in It."
NJ. b.. O'Reilly said:
81 know tina something Is going on. A
real estate agent approached me on the sub
ject, but made no direct or definite propcsl-
ton. / think he was trying to sound me
and believe hat other parties are behind
him"
August Gehner said that the movement
for consolidation has been on foot for some
time. He admitted that he had been ap-
preached on the subject.
II is said there are so many title inyesti-
gators in the business that there is little or
no profit In II, and the idea is to get the
title-examining business IN connection with
the loan business, when It would prove a
profitable venture.
1t was reported hat the STANDARD Oil
Company was behind the present movement
for a combination Of the MISUNDERSTANDING
business, but representatives of that con-
Germ here and in the East declare that such
a report is without foundation.
