All Seek to Step Up
Work to End Delays;
Night Crews Used .
By Robert J. Lewis
By Robert J. Lewis

Possession is nine points of the
law. But your lawyer will tell you
that If you buy a piece of real
estate you had better have a clear
title or you'll stand a chance to
lose the property.
In Washington, as in most other
large cities, the great bulk of the
work of examining titles to real
estate prior to transfer is handled
by title insurance companies rather
than by individual lawyers.
It's big business, and a special
lied one. Right now it's a booming
business, too, with stats Of most
companies swamped with a big
backlog Of work owing to the large
number Of real estate sales being
made every day.
Recently, John H. Stadtler, secre-
tary Of District Title Insurance Co.,
and associated companies, told us
something about the title insurance
business. His company Is SIS years
old and he has been associated with
1t for many OF those years.
Specialized Job.
In the old days, he said, LAWYERS
would 60 to the Offices of the re-
corder of deeds and the clerk of
the courts, dig through the records
themselves, and thus find out
whether prospective sellers title
to the property was clear or cloudy.
But with the growth of the city
and the passage Of time, searching
through the mass OF records tend
ed to become a mammoth job. At
that point, lawyers specializing in
this type of business began to need
help.
Soon they formed companies to
handle the work, and added an
extra wrinkle. They insured" the
title so that the buyer was protect
ed against any error the title COM
pany may have made.
Today title companies also han
die the transfer, saving buyer, seller
and money lender a lot of head
aches
A year ago, you could have a
title examined by the title company
and complete transfer made with
in about 80 or As days. Today, in
most cases, it takes so days because
the flood of real estate sales has
overtaxed the machinery.
1870 Jump in Business.
One of the three largest title in
surance companies in Washington
reports a rs per cent jump in the
title business since January; another
SO per cent rise, and the third "a
very substantial" increase.
Giving an opinion on title Is not
a job for novice. To do thorough
job, you have to be lawyer. One
Washington title company has 80
lawyers on its staff. Because it's
tied so closely to the law, it's also
not a job that you can even explain
clearly without using a lot of legal
1st1c language, such as adverse
possession" and similar phrases.
But the work boils down substan-
TALLY to a research job to get all
the information available in legal
records on the ownership Of the
property, including what liens there
may be on file affecting the title,
plus legal opinion on whether this

Godgets
New Overhead Door,
Lighter Than Wood,
Requires No Tracks
By HiIson Munsey

A new type of garage door works
on the overhead principle without
using either springs or tracks. The
fitting is made possible by two pivot
bolts that work in brass sleeve
bearings
Only a slight touch is needed to
either open or close this door. When
it is in the raised position, special
locking device holds it in place.
When lowered, a standard auto
mobile lock provides the protection
against any unauthorized entry.
The counterbalancing of the door,
which makes it so easy to raise, is
built right into the door itself. The
bottom is weatherstripped with rub
Der and this prevents sticking in
snow or ice The doors are made
of an aluminium alloy combined
with steel for strength and long life.
This combination produces a door
that Is lighter than the regulation
wooden door and the need for paint
ing is eliminated. The cost is about
the same as an overhead door made
of wood and the upkeep is prac-
tically nothing.
This door can be adjusted to take
care of any settling of the garage
that might throw it out of alignment
by means of set screw in the pivot
assembly. There are various de-
signs to fit any type of architecture
and adaptable to any shape of open
ing. If double door is necessary
= two standard doors can be used
operated separately or bolted to-
gether to work as one unit. They
will fit into an opening 16 feet wide
or one that is 6 inches smaller.

CPA Will Require
Area Overall Plans on
School Construction

Washington area school districts
in the future will be required to out
line overall plans for school con-
struction before the local Civilian
Production Administration Office will
consider approving construction ap-
plications.
That was announced today by Ed
ward M. Synan, manager of the
local CPA Office, who said:
THE only way we can go ahead
intelligently is to know each areas
entire program, rather than to con-
slider applications for additions and
new schools piecemeal."
16 Applications Denied.
CPA during the week denied 16
applications for nonhousing con-
struction valued at $478, 300 and ap-
proved % applications for $443, 1877.
Among this weeks denials was one
for a $4,000, three-room, Rockville
elementary school addition which,
according to specifications submitted
to CPA, called for solid brick walls.
Mr.. Synan said solid brick walls
amounted to a waste of brick be-
cause of the critical shortage in this
material" and that if specifications
were changed to provide for brick
facing and backing of less-critical
materials, this project could go
ahead. He said that the Montgom-
cry County School Board did not
agree to substitute a less-critical
material for backing.
North WOodside School.
An application for an $S5 900 10
room elementary school at North
Woodside, Montgomery County, was
held up, Mr.. Synan said, pending
conference Monday with school Of
f1cials, at which the years overall
construction plans will be outlined.
New school construction in Mont

cause of difficulties in obtaining ma

Proper Home Lighting Needs
Thought Before Building Starts
By w. Wodsworth Wood

Home lighting is divided into two
distinct classifications natural
lighting and artificial lighting. Both
have benefited by good sound study
by architects and lighting engineers
until now the average house can
have proper lighting day and night
The cost of it will not exceed that
of inferior lighting.
Good day lighting begins Vith the
correct designing of the house so an
abundance of sunlight is admitted
to the interior. This means more
and larger windows than have
usually been placed in the walls, but
it also means care In placing them
SO that a room will have sufficient
wall space to accommodate furni-
ture. It means a generous use OF
glass block where an operative win
dow is impractical but light is de-
sired. 1t means the use of ceiling
windows, placed high up in the wall
