Titles Held Up

BENSON - Engineer Elliott is in
Benson and doing everything possible
to expedite his final report on the
Charleston dam survey. The only OBJ
stacles now to be overcome are in con
nection with land titles; and had
these not cropped up, the election
V ould have been held in July. Dur
ing the course of an interview with
newspaper man, Elliott requested that
publicity be given the following sug-
gestions:
ITO facilitate work in connection
with the report on the Charleston
dam project and to enable the bond
issue to be put to the vote of the
land owners in the San Pedro Valley
coming under the irrigation project,
it is suggested by Engineer Elliott
that all land owners ascertain wheih,
err their deeds to the land they own
are correct in their descriptions of
the properties. Errors have been
found to exist in regard to acreage
and descriptions of land coming I'M
der the irrigation project. Several de
scriptions were found to describe land
a mile or two from the land it was in
IeHucu- " ueSCTiDe- oOIEe Oh IHeSS ue-
scrip;ions would describe land, as for
instance. A man would be living ON
land at one place, but when his deed
was examined it called for piece of
land in quite another place. 1t was
apparent from descriptions of these
deeds that his was either an uninten-
tional mistake in describing or a stem
ographic error. Hence it is suggest
ed that people who own land COM
ing under the irrigation project
should have their deeds examined. If
deeds are sent to l.. Earl Mattheson
they will be properly checked and if
errors are found to exist, the asso-
citation will assist in any way posi-.
Bile to have them rectified
The attention of land owners is also
directed to the advisa bility OF having
their deous recorded. 1t has been
found that quite a number of deeds
are still unrecOrded."
