STRESS|MPORTANCE OF RECORDINCPLAT ATTORNEYS. RESEARCHERS Support Jo Frauenthal in Contention that Old Maps and Plats of City
 Should be Recorded.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat: would not infringe upon your val uable space in these days of print paper shortage if the matter were not one of supreme importance to pro perty owners.
 The Log Cabin Democrat account of the council proceedings revealed that the board did not have a prop CT conception of the reasons that made 1t necessary to record the plats that have not been placed on record.
 Entertaining the views as expressed ct the meeting l have no criticism to make of the councils action in refer ring the matter to the judiciary committee for investigation.
 The city is to be congratulated upon having a mayor and board of aldermen progressive in their en- dencies. They are of splendid iotel- ligence and 1t is admitted they are striving to give us such an admins tration as a city like Conway desery- es. This is why. Mir. Editor, this i'm portant matter was referred to them Such men as Ledbetter, James and McClurkin cannot fail to see the im- portance of recording these plats after investigation.
 If Wilson's map were correct the necessity for record of previous maps and plans would yet apply Numerous changes have been made in the different plans, but no deed to property is better than the emanat- ing source. If deed is worth re- cording, the plat which is the source of the deed-and which stands in the same relation as a prior deed-should of course be recorded.
 This is perfectly obvious. The limited space you accord me preclud- es me from giving many reasons that would be clear and convincing and beyond argument
 After all, the public is the interested party; and 1t may be well to make known that 1t was only necessary TO FILE plats at the time these referred to were made.
 The legislature recently made it imperative that all plats be record ed; and the law now imposes pen atty when property is sold from a plat not recorded.
 If the legislature deemed the record ing of plats and maps wise and im- portant, why not We?
 May l append few letters from experts upon the subject who have been kind enough to concur in my views, and who give opinions that may be of interest to the public?

Aprll 18th, 1920. MT Jo Frauenthal, City.
 Dear Sir: IL is with a great deal of interest that We have noted your agitation in regard 10 the recording of Banner & Company's map com piled in August, 1905, and the c. B. Fidlar map compiled in March, 1884, and all other maps and plats, cover ing the city of Conway, to which re- ference heretofore has been made from time to time in the conveyance of pro- perty, covered by these maps and plats.
 We would urge that everything pos sible should be done towards getting these maps and plats placed upon the proper records of Faulkner county.
 The attorneys who live out of the city and are not acquainted with our system of conveyance are especially handicapped in the examination of our abstracts and frequently unnecessary annoyance is occasioned both the ab- straetor and the examining attorn- ey. Yours very truly.

 MT. Jo Frauenthal, Conway, Ark.
 Dear MT. Frauenthal; I am very much interested in the matter now before the city council in regard to having all unrecorded maps of the city and additions thereto recorded. They should have been recorded when made. but since they were not they should now be recorded without fur ther delay
 It is my opinion that there is no one question before the city council of greater interest to the citizens who own city property. Youry truly,

Mr. Jo Frauenthal. Conway, Ark.
 Dear Sir: Answering your inquiry as to what way not recording the plats or maps usually designated as "Robinson's Plan of Conway "Fid- lars Survey" and Banner & Com panys map of Conway, Ark, affects property owners and tax payers of Conway we would say:
 l. A very large portion of the business houses and residences of Conway have been erected on \ 1-2 Ses. 12, T5N, R14W, which terri tory is embraced in Robinson 5 Plan Probably 90 per cent of the conveyances of the property desig- nate the property conveyed by refer ence to that plat or Plan
 ?. Thousands of deeds indicate the land conveyed as being a certain lot of "Fidlar's Survey of Conway Arkansas.
 3. Numerous deeds and mortgages give the description according to map of Conway, Arkansas made by Banner & Company in August 1905. .
 1. The fact that these plats are not recorded invites criticism and sometimes serious objection from the loan companies examining abstracts to Conway property.
 ,. As there are no dedication deeds of record to the city for streets and alleys except in comparatively few of the additions the plats would have to be depended on to show proper To- cation of streets and alleys and in many instances to show any title in the city.
 6. Robinson's Plan is not shown on any of the subsequent maps the same as on the original Fidlars Survey is not shown on Banner X Company's map nor on B. G. Wilson s map.
 :. An abstract of title which pur- ports to show only such instruments as are of record should not show copies of the unrecorded maps.
 &. A complete record title can not be shown to Conway property desig- mated in the conveyances thereof by reference to either of the above men, toned maps for the description so long as those maps are not a matter of record. Yours very truly,
 Banner Abstract Company,
 B. G. L. Banner President.
