tional gatherings, and hold the world in waiting
while they iron out their petty differences.

as to be rentable for commercial purposes

from the two lower floors Of the municipal
building would be quite . sum and more
than pay back the investment. The details
Of this would have to be worked out, but
II can be done. Will the commissioners

Would Limit Number OF Notaries.
Crete, Neb., June 1s.-To the Editor OF
The Bee: May take just few lines to
call attention to an existing law, that'
while It was probably all right when It was
made, has come to be little more than
farce refer to the law covering appoint
ment of notaries public.
The requirements of this law are such
that almost anyone possessing the ability TO
write his own name can obtain a commits
sion as notary public. The liabilities ne
assumes are such that any Of the regular
bonding companies are willing to assume
the risk on his bond Of $4,000 for a period
Of six years for less than IS. The cost
Of obtaining such commission is so email
that no Office having any notarial work at
all can afford to be without notary. There
are eleven people working In one building
which have in mind. six of whom have
notariaI commissions. This proportion is not
uncommon in the banks and law or real
estate Offices In this state. And to such
as these do many Of our people entrust the
preparation of papers for real estate con-
veyances, investment Of funds, ETC., simply
because the average notary does not charge
for his services. Is It any wonder. may
ask, that not more than one real estate
title out Of ten--I believe could safely say
q hundreds without errors or discrepan-
Giles caused by failure Of the notaries to do
their duty.
The value Of our real estate Is daily In
creasing and examiners Of titles are daily
becoming more and more strict In examina-
tion Of titles and quite frequently require
certain action to be taken. costing heavily
in time and money, which would have been
avoided had the notary not failed in his
duty.
It seems to me that II is time for the
appointment of notaries to be restricted to
a certain number in each community accord
ing to It's population, and to those who are
able to pass an examination showing thor
ough knowledge of their duties. The liabil-
tiles he assumes should be specifically set
out In the law as well as the fees he would
be entitled to collect for the work. and he
should be required to give sufficient bond TO
assure his careful attention to any work
brought to him.
believe that such q law. carefully
framed. and enforced. would eliminate very
large percentage Of the troubles we now
have with real estate titles. A READER.
