TITLE COMPANY
WORK REVEALED
TO Y STUDENTS
Arthur G. Bishop Explains Tech
nicalities of important
Realty Branch.

Y The work of q title company was
explained to the real estate class at
the X. M. C. A. this week by Arthur
q. Bishop. vice president Of the Dis.
/ trict and Washington Title Insur.
ance Companies. Mr.. Bishop stated
That q title company performs three
Instinct functions: Examination Of
titles. conveyancing, and settlements.
In defining the different forms Of
certificates issued by q title COM
pany. Mr.. Bishop sad that there was
an impression more or less general
among laymen that title examination
once made and supported by q GER
uficate was good in the hands Of any
subsequent purchaser. This fire.
ouentiy resulted in purchasers of real
estate neglecting to obtain title re.
port, and it was emphasized that this
practice was very dangerous. A title
certificate issued to one person., 1t
was pointed out, is q contract between
that person and the title company,
and is not transferable and conse.
quently the title company has no
responsibility or liability under II to
any subsequent purchaser.
This does not apply. however, to q
mortgage certificate, which Ia issued
n a 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 released.
The old system of issuing an alb
stract which detailed all matters ap-
pearing of record, such as deeds. mort
cages, wills, judgments, ETC.. has been
abolished as too cumbersome, 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 estate
should be surrounded by the greatest
possible caution. It frequently hap
pens that very simple oversight or
omission in some vital part of such a
paper results in serious complications,
and often is very expensive to correct.
In illustrating this point Mr.. Bishop
referred to a case where two lots on
o prominent corner were purchased
Tor the purpose of constructing a large
building. and the two lots, which were
owned by different parties, were
described In the deeds as being a
given number of feet from a certain
point, which description was not
strictly correct. and the result was
that strip few inches in width run
ming through the center of the plot
was not conveyed, and the action sub.
sequently taken to correct this defect
cost several hundred dollars.
In the settlement Of sales and loans
the public looks upon the title COM
pany as a disinterested party to the
transaction, and this relation fire.

It Is Said That This
Fisherman Will

1t is said that certain young but
enthusiastic fisherman of but so
years had a great desire to go ice
fishing once more before he reached
the age of 81, so he made all plans
and on the appointed day hied him.
self with his friends into the country,
miles away and on bitterly cold and
windy day
Now, so far so good. There was a
pond, the ice and presumably the fish
under the ice. AS there appeared to
be about II inches of the barrier be-
tween Mr.. Fisherman and the fish,
and no old holes through the ice
were to be seen or found, it became
necessary to get out the trusty ice
chisel. Here is just where the $50

ters.
The chisel was not to be found-it
was in its accustomed place at home,
with its edge as keen as ever and. it's
blade undimmed with frost or icy
chips.
An axe was secured. 1t had every
appearance of an ordinary axe but
ltS cutting QualltleS were not up to
those of the far away chisel. Four
teen inches of ice for a chisel is boys
play as rule to the young and enthu-
siastic fisherman, but three holes
with the axe was enough for
him and no one else enthused
on having more holes added to their
collection of three by their own ex-
,.{tN
pose the v. & e. fisherman put
all his attention to just plain fishing
through the ice in daylight.
The party caught just two little
almost tame-yellow perch. What
they did with them, history made no
record

warm place at home-the Y. e e.

Mayor and Mrs.
F0gg to Receive
At Charity Ball

Many pleasing and unusual things
have been arranged for the Charity
Ball in the City Hall tonight, but
none will be more agreeable than the
short reception to be held preceding
the dancing.
From s to $50, a reception COM
mittee. headed by Mayor and Mrs.
Sanford l.. Fogg, will greet the
guests. During the reception, the
Douglas Melody Men will give con-
cert program that has been arranged
especially for this occasion.
The final details for the event have
been perfected so that the hundreds
who attend tonight Will not only have
the pleasure Of participating in what
is generally agreed to be the big So
cial event of the season, but also of
contributing to the support of the
Augusta General hospital for whom
the ball is given.
The music for the dancing prom
ises a number of surprises. Director
Douglas has secured by special per-
mission of the publishers, a number
of the very latest dance song num-
bers. Among these is the Bow Wow
Blues" said to be one of the most
tantalizing terpsichorean offerings OF
the year.
The dancing will begin at $50 and
last until l o'clock. At intermission
ice cream and cake will be sold at
pre-war prices. The doors will open
at 7.30 so that everyone-and every
one will be there-will have 80 min
utes of informal sociability before the
actual reception begins.-Adv.
