MAKING MORE PROGRESS
IN GARDEN TRANSFERS
Agents Say ~ Deeds Were
Passed Yesterday; 10
Listed for Today.

Twenty-Five more homes were re-
joicing at the close OF yesterday,
when a. many deeds were turned over
to the owners Of that many houses In
Union Park Gardens after settlements
had been made with tho Greenfield
concern and their lawyers.
The delivery OF deeds and the final
settlements were made on 20 homes
yesterday. according to the statement
OF Eugene Cornell, Greenflelds repre-
sentative, given out today. The pro-
gram for today, as stated by the
agent, was for the delivery OF 10 more.
IL circumstances will permit. Recent
ly additional delays have been ex-
perienced. because some Of the parties
to the deeds were unable to make their
mortgage arrangements at the time SET
by the Greenfield people for the trans
fer and final settlement. Mr.. Cornell
stated that approximately 100 deed.
have been already delivered. but since
| it is left to each individual to have
his deed recorded, that number has
not as yet been placed on record ir
the county offices. So far the recorder.
Office reports that only 80 have beer
filed for record.
Caleb f. Burchenal. speaking for hi.
end Of the transactions. stated tina
they were making better progress.
than before on the matter, since hi!
assistants were becoming moro IA
miliar with the many details. Tn,
great difficulty now, according To hi
statement. is that there arc at leas
three parties to almost every dee,
and since so many houses were bough
up and then transferred from thes
initial purchasers. that makes II neces
sary to send the deeds away severa
times to secure signature Moreover
there Is a delay on account OF tn
mortgage arrangements in man,
cases. for the parties concerned mus
not have any previous Judgmen
against them which would enable thei
property TO be attached under a prio
lien.
The work. however. Is going ahea
much moro rapidly than before an
1t is the hope OF the Greenfield agent
and or Mr.. Burchenal that many NOR
deeds Will be in the hands Of tn
owners by the end Of this week. Tn
new plan which has been put into exc
cution OF handling the properties b
blocks is proving more eatisfactor
than the miscellaneous selection {
houses from all parts Of the lot an
this Is aiding in the more expedition
delivery and transfer of these proper
ties, Mr.. Burchenal says.
