fused to make deeds to settlers unless the
company procures from the holders of the

so far as the particular tracts deeded are
concerned. Recently a number of settlers
filed applications for deeds and also filed
reoeipts showing that they have, paid their
obligations to the lrrisation company.
Governor Chamberlain believed that the
mortgages Riven by the company consti
tuted a eJotid upon the title and might be
the source of much Iteration tn the future
if settler should be given deeds without
the mortgages beinar aatistied. In this
view he was Horted by Attorney-General
Crawford.- This' afternoon Jesse
Steams, attorney for the company, ap
peared before the Board and argued that
the settlers would secure title free from
the inert frames an asked the Board to re
cede from its position. The Board gave
no decision, but Governor Chamberlain
said after the meeting that he Is firm in
his attitude and that no deed will be
signed by' him unless the holders of the
mortgages" execute releases.
