NEWS OF STEELTON
PLANNING DEED
REGISTRATION
Map to Show Owners of Every
Property in the Borough
Are Being Drawn

With the completion of a map
showing the location of every bor-
ough property and the owner and
all papers necessary for carrying out
the registration of deeds with the
borough secretary, the new ordin-
ance which was passed on third
reading at the session of Council on
Monday night, will be enforced.
All week borough engineer Gala
CHAN has been working on a map
which shows the location of every
property in the borough. This map
will be used in checking up all deeds
as they are registered, and will be
completed in the near future. Bids
for the printing of papers necessary
to enforce the ordinance will be
awarded soon, it was learned this
morning. AS soon as everything is
completed announcement will be
made through the press notifying
property owners to register their
deeds with the borough secretary.
The system to become effective in
the borough is similar to that used
in Harrisburg. 1t gives borough Of
ficials complete data as to the owner
of every property, its dimensions and
other information so often desired
by officials. Furthermore it makes
an equalized assessment possible
which up to this time could not be
made in the borough because of the
lack of information.
UP to this time property was
bought and sold without any notice
given to the borough secretary and
for this reason many times no record
of real estate transactions was avail
able. The system will enable Of
ficials to proceed on a paving project
on any street without spending
months in Harrisburg hunting up the
owners of property. All the paw
ing work in Steelton could not be
done without months of investigation
by borough officials into the owner
ship of properties. 1t was pointed
out yesterday that some times this
work consumed more than six
months time. All this unnecessary
work will be overcome when the new
ordinance becomes effective.
