.FUNCTlOvOF TITLE
COMPANY TOLD TO
~" REALTY PUPILS
Says Failure of Purchaser
To Obtain Title Report
Is Dangerous.

The work OF a title company was
explained to the real estate class
at the Y. NJ. c. A. this week by
Mr.. Arthur G. Bishop, vice presi-
dent of the District and Wash
ington Title Insurance companies
Mr.. Bishop stated that . title COM
pany performs three distinct func-
tions-examination Of titles, con-
veyancing and settlements.
In defining the different forms OF
certificates issued by a title COM
pany, Mr.. Bishop said that there
was an impression more or less
general among laymen that title
examination once made and sup
ported by a certificate was good in
the hands of any subsequent pur-
chaser. This frequently resulted in
purchasers. of real estate neglect
ing to obtain a title report and
II was emphasized that this practice
was very dangerous. A title certifi-
cate issued to one person, II was
pointed out, is a contract between
that person and the title company.
and is not transferable and conse-
quently the title company has no
responsibility or liability under IL
to any subsequent purchaser. This
does not apply. however. TO a mort
gageo certificate which is issued as
specific report on a given mort
gage or deed of trust and is good
and in full force and effect until
the mortgage or note secured by the
deed of trust is cancelled and re-
leased.
The old system OF issuing an ap-
stract which detailed all matters
appearing of record such as deeds,
mortgages, wills, judgments, ETC..
has been abolished as too cumber-
some and in its place is issued a
simple certificate which states the
fact as to whether the title is GOOD
of record or not.
The preparation of papers which
convey or affect title to real es-
tate should be surrounded by the
greatest possible caution. 1t fire.
quently happens that a very simple
oversight or omission In some vital
part Of such a paper results in Sc
rious complications and often is
very expensive to correct. In illus
trating this point, Mr.. Bishop re-
ferred to a case where two lots
on a prominent corner were pur-
chased for the purpose OF construct
ing a large building and the two
lots, which were owned by differeDs
parties were described in the deeds
as being a given number OF feet
from a certain point which de-
scription was not strictly correct
and the result was. that a strip -
few inches in width running
through the center of the plot
was not conveyed ana the action
subsequently taken to correct this
defect cost several hundred dol
lars. ,-- 49,.
In the settlement of sales and
loans the public looks upon the
title company as a disinterestea
party to the transaction and this
relation frequently clears up mis-
Understandings that arise through
lack of knowledge of the detail
and procedure in handling real es-
tate matters.

unwritten history about former
President Theodore Roosevelt, as
one OF the. strongest advocates OF
Washington as a world capital.
When. in s,lsoz. we were planning
the beautiful Pan American Build
Ing, which IL the home Of this
arms conference. the action and at
titude Of !. President Roosevelt,
strongly supported sby' Elihu Root,
then Secretary of State. and now
one OF the plenipotentiarIes of this
conference. resulted In such a style
of architecture and location for the
Pan American Building that sucn
style and location. not only helped
to dignity greatly the beauty Of
washington as a world capital. but
to provide noble structure that
could be not only a Pan American.
but a world capitol. and meeting
place.
while the final decision as to
location and style OF architecture
rested in the governing board OF
the Pan American-Union, composed
OF the twenty Latin-American dip
lomatfc representatives and the
Secretary of State of the United
States, the deciding influence ac-
tually was the attitude Of President
Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Am
bassador Nabuco OF Brazil. A ma
jority Of the Latin-American diplo-
matte representatives were so
much in favor of a location uptown
and OF a building In which they
could have their embassies and le-
cations that there was real danger
that what is now great peace
palace would have been a modern
business structure. Mr.. Root in
his delicate position as chairman of
the governing board, had to seem
impartial: although at heart strong
ly fayoring the idea of a peace
palace. When the decision was to
be made 1t an informal meeting
which Ambassador Nabuco called
at the Brazilian embassy of the
Latin American diplomats, ! went
at his request to see President
Roosevelt, who Immediately au-
thorized me to convey to the Latin
American diplomats his viewpoint
that tho Pan American Building
should be located and <tSlt with the
one idea that II should be a struc-
ture worthy of a meeting place not
only of all the American nations,

There was no equivocation in his
attitude. In response to the invi-
tation of Ambassador Nabuco
appeared at this informal meeting
and delivered the message YER
batim OF the President. with the
result that every Latin-American
diplomat present went on record
TO the effect that at the approach

he would support the plan for 10

mortal and within the immediate
neighborhood of the White House
and other notable government
buildings. Then President Roose-
welt said, we will have at one end

World" In, the course of Mr.. Bar
rett's remarks he emphasized the
important hearing Of the conference
on Washington az a world capital.
He said: -
THAT Washington has become
and ever will be regarded as a
world capital and an ideal meeting
place of International world con-
crosses is the great outstanding re-
suit Of the arms conference, as far
az Washington itself is concerned.
For all those directly interested in
this city,. the conference has justi-
fed its calling on this ground IL
for no other. The great RESPONSE

capital to lose its world capital

 Seattle. big oil companies. the
 Standard Oil Company and the General
 Petroleum Company, have signed con
 tracts with the Westward Development
 Company for the development of the
 immense oil fields in the Cold Bay dis
 trict of Alaska. according to report
 in the Seattle Times. The Westward
 Development Company was organized
 last year by A. s. Kerry and Seattle
 and Northwest capitalists, to act as i agents of oil groups who had permits
 in Alaska. Mir. Kerry says equipment
 will be on the way to the Alaska oil fields within thirty days for general development of the fields, which are about forty miles in length. It is be-
 lieved that in g. short time a similar
 contract will be signed with the Sin clair Consolidated Oil Corporation of
 New York, which will bring an exten-
 sive addition to the capital available
 The development work already out
 lined will mean the expenditure of at least S2, GOO, 900 in the two districts for development work.
 Seattle is greatly interested in this development, as it will be the base for the sending Tn of supplies and receiv- ing the output of the developed dis tricts. Mir. Kerry predicts this move ment may mean more for Alaska and Seattle than the original gold discov- cry meant.
 All this activity follows the passage of the Alaska land act in February, 1920, after which there was rush of prospectors to locate oil claims The district in question has been thorough ly examined by engineers and geolo- gists of the Westward company and the government. The anticlinals have di- vlded the psninsular oil fields into the west field add the east field The west field is about twenty miles inland from Sheilakof strait, and extends from Becharof lake in southwesterly dlrec- tion for length of forty miles, as men, tioned. The east field is, roughly, mainly inland, about six miles from tidewater, with it's top near Cold Bay. It extends. also, in southwesterly di- rection, for forty miles. On the west of the field lies Ugashik lakes, Part of the east field anticlinal runs through l Sheilakof strait, but reappears on both sides of it's straight-as-a -bee-line con- formation.
 Over 600 applications for permits have been filed in the Land Office at | Juneau, covering a wide field, extend ing from Southwestern Alaska to l (katow. along the southern coast, and l in the region of Point Barrow, thus in 1 licating the immense possibilities for development.

vERMoNT's HOTEL BUSINESS.

r. H. Derrah, the publicity man fol
the Hotel Association of Vermont, has
spent the last three weeks making a
survey Of hotel and boarding house
conditions in the state and he reports
that hotels are overcrowded, many OF
them turning away guests every night.
That being the case, Vermont will need
to build more hotels or enlarge the
present structures in order to accom-
modate the rush which is expected next
year by Mr. Derrah as the result OF the
Hotel associations publicity campaign
in New York, Boston, and other large
cities. There is no doubt that consid-
cradle results have already been expe-
rienced as the result OF that campaign.
In order to cope with the situation
that n likely to develop within the
next few years Vermont must have
more hotel accommodations. That
seems certain.
