Editors TRIBUNE:
The question of set of abstract
books to be owned and controlled by the
County of st. Lucie for the real estate
in the county, is being pushed by some
people, and the writer has been an in
| terested reader of the articles written
by Taxpayer, N. o. Penny, j. F. Bell
and the editorial that issued from the
pen of the erratic News man.
Taxpayers idea heartily sympathize
with, for it does look as If We had to
pay too much for abstracts, and for a
number Of years | was Of the opinion
that we We're paying too much for these
instruments, but after looking into the
matter changed my mind
A set of abstract books cost money,
either to make or buy. There is but
one set in existence that is authentic;
for the real estate in ST. Lucie county;
that is owned by the Brevard Abstract
of Title Co., at Titusville. These books
were originally made up in a careful
manner, from the records in the clerk $
office in Brevard county, the records OF
old st. Lucie county, which were IN st.
Augustine and other places, and from
the U. S. Land office. These books
represent great deal of time, labor
and money spent in their making orig
nally, and keeping up to the present
time. They are valued at $4,000 and !
have heard that they have been offered
for that price; know that there are
several parties in st. Lucie county;
that have investigated this matter thor
oughly with the idea of purchasing
them, but after investigation they have
all come to the conclusion that the de-
mand for abstracts would not justify
the outlay, even at the prices asked
now for abstracts.
The incentive that moves private
parties to put their money in such in
vestments is the income or profit &C,
cruing therefrom, and after careful
consideration they have arrived at the
conclusion that the actual income would
not pay careful man to keep up the
books, and would not pay any interest
on the investment. Had we county
with large population, and valuable
concentrated real estate interests fire.
uuently changing hands, as in Duval
and other counties, then it might pay,
and there might be sufficient reason for
private parties or the county going into
the abstract business.
understand that there is party in
Fort Pierce now who has made an ar
rangement with the Brevard Abstract
of Title Company to furnish abstracts
