shelves have been replaced and the books
are being returned to the racks, but the
disorder has not been entirely done away
with, and the title companies are still
working under difficulties. 1t is estimated
that the moving of the records has de-
layed the title companies about a week
and some of the real estate men are walk
ing around in circles, so to speak. because
they cannot get their business closed up.
Those who have been much DELAYED
make the criticism that the records should

REAL ESTATE BROKERS
UNABLE TO CLOSE DEALS
Title Records Not Available Because
of Improvements in the Re-

A number of the real estate men in
Washington who have been in a hurry
to close up deals have been delayed, it is
stated and will be still further DELAYED
because of the disarrangement of the rec
ords in the Office of the recorder of
deeds at the courthouse, which followed
upon the tearing up of the old floor and
the laying OF cement floor in the Office.
1t was found that before the floor could
be laid 1t would be necessary to move all
the steel racks which hold the records
The records were also moved and piled
up by the laborers in huge mass, MAX
ing it impossible for the clerks of the
title companies to make searches for the
titles to property here. For two days
last week the books were locked up and
1t was impossible to get at them at all.
