Civil Engineer Says Better Rule Is
to Group Mass Planting Along

IT Is a mystery why any one should

it is often done. says Charles Wexford
Leayttt, member Of the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers.
Regardless of the size of the lot or
plot which is to be Handicapped, he points
out. it is generally safe rule to set the
mass plantation along the boundaries
of the property. thus securing a greater
protection and privacy for the property,
more space about the residence for ad-
hitting sunlight and air.
Furthermore, he adds, this method
of plantation permits a better view of
the architectural quantity of the house
and its immediate surroundings.
1T is mystery why one should de-
liberately plant not alone delicate
plants. but tall growing bushes, and
even forest trees Immediately against
the house. It must be known that in a
few years the house on which an archi-
tect has expended his best efforts to
beauty will be masked, the light and
air shut out. and the view obscured if
not obliterated Moreover. the plants
and trees will not be allowed a fun de-
velopment Of root system or branch and
spread above ground because II has but

plantation becomes one-sided thing
with one-half its beauty value lost" he
said

Record Of Deals.
An abstract OF title sounds very tech
nical to the uninitiated, but this article
is endeavoring to prove that the build
ing-loan association is no secret society
Therefore, when one puts an abstract
of title" into simple everyday words it
amounts to a resume of the previous
transactions which have taken place on
that piece of real estate in years past.
This abstract is put into the hands OF
an examiner who aScertains whether
the title is marketable and good. That
involves a complete search of the rec
ords in the Office Of the register of the
county where the property is located
IF the hcmcsecker does not have an alb
straCt OF title it neCessitates the at
tornoy delving deeper into the records
How long does such an examination
take? That varies according to the To-
cation of the property Usually 10 days
is allowed between the appointment for
closing and the actual opening date,
but this may be speeded up under stress
Of circumstances
Upon completion of the search, the
report of the examiner is turned over
to a reader who determines from it
whether or not the title is free and
clear. If no objections to title are
raised, the mortgage papers are pre-
pared and placed in the hands of the
attorney who is to close the loan. It is
the attorneys duty to see that any in
cumbrances on the property are in &C
cord with the law of the State.
The day for closing comes around
The borrower goes TO the attorneys

and receives the money which he is to
turn over to the builder OF hts home
After checking the signed mortgage
papers are forwarded to the county
