GARDEN HOME BUYERS
IRRlTATED BECAUSE
OF TRANSFER DELAY
Continued from page 1.


Added to this, because of tho fact
that properties have been selected.
this means that a great deal of ham
ding Ia necessary. The houses have
not been selected by streets or In
particular blocks. but they have been
selected by various individuals from all
over tho plot. Now In this plot there
are over fifteen sheets OF plans which
make II very difficult to locate the
property at once"
Moreover" Mr.. Burchanel contin,
ued, the decd to Margaret wiggins
contains tho names Of all the pur-
chasers, so that property bought
at the sale and resold, a condition In
which more than half tho properties
now, are. makes IL necessary that the
ginal purchaser. the buyer at the sale,
join in signing the deed. This occa-
sions "A delay. since some of tho orr
ginal parties must be brought from
distant places to consummate the
deal. These purchasers were mostly
out-of-town people. such. as Eastburn
" Hill. Bristol. Pa, and Snyder, New
Brunswick, N. j.
but this is not all. for the settle
ment must be completed pro-rating
rents. taxes, water rents and the people
gotten together for the signing of the
deed. and for the final arrangements.
Where large number OF properties
are being transferred there are many
opportunities for mistakes Carefully
done work Will save tho purchasers n
great deal OF time and money and for
mat reason we feel that they should
be little more patient when we are
taking care of their interests to the
best of our ability"

Mr.. Burchenal stated that his Office
has prepared descriptions for more
than one-tenth of the properties tc
