TITLE TO THE SITE

The Beatty estate had nothing TO do
with the transfer OF title. The land upon

Mitchell. The deeds are recorded In
LiDer 3. folio l2y 20 1874 and can be seen
by anyone.

written. BY the deed Adam King con-

was conveyed 20 the town Itself
Ia TINS connection Il seems strange
that at that time this place was known
a. George Town. The deeds from
King and Mitchell were dated October
q. 1SO2. DUt were not recorded until jan
uary 3. 1893. The consideration named
was ''2S0 pounds. current money Of
Maryland" and the property was de-
scribed as follows.
"All those two lots known as lot A.
and lot 5. then located between Cedar
Alley and Falls Street
AT that time the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal was not built. and Falls Street
was the Cd name OF that portion OF

An interesting question arises IN con-
recti0n with the matter Should the

There j. no reyersiOn clause In the
