A bill considered of some import
ance by lawyers and advocated by
several of the bar associations of the
State was one introduced by Senator
McNichols of Lackawanna. The bill
provides that all mortgages and
deeds shall be in effect from the
date of record and not from the date
of the instrument. This bill tends
to discourage the custom in many
of the rural counties of not record
ing deeds and thereby preventing
the preparation of complete briefs
of title. Many of the corporations
which have had occasion to purchase
large tracts of land have experienced
difficulty in making purchases. and
insuring titles on account of deeds
in the chain of title having been lost
or mislaid. The bill introduced will
compel land owners to record their
deeds or otherwise they will be of
no effect.
