THE BONNEVILLE DAM CHRONICLE
Value of Abstract of Title
To Property Holder Related
The question often arises, “ Why
should I pay out my good money
for an abstract. I know the title to
this land. Jim Jones has owned it
for years and he bought it from
George Brown, who had it from the
Government.
Can’t be anything
wrong with that Title.” As a mat
ter ot fact, a check of the records
invariably discloses that only a few
o f the matters of record are remem
bered by one “ who knows the title
so well.”
Over a period of a very few
months, matters very materially af
fecting title to property come to
light in an abstract office. Recently
there were three instances of errors
in descriptions in deeds which were
very serious. In each case a small
tract was sold out of a large tract
o f land and the beginning point for
the description of the small tract was
in error. In one case the beginning
point was 50 rods from the quarter
section corner instead of 45 rods
making the deed of no value to the
grantee.
Fortunately a new deed
was secured with correct description
but it necessitated a special trip for
the purpose and took over a day’s
time. Had this not been discovered
until after the death of the grantor,
it might not have been possible to
ever get a.correction deed.
In another instance the descrip
tion read beginning at the North
west corner instead of the Northeast
corner of a quarter section which
was discovered when the owner was
contemplating an abstract order. The
property had been deeded four times
in the past several years, each time

with the incorrect description and
the present owner is now trying to
find the various owners to secure
corrective deeds. Without them he
has no title at all and can neither
sell or mortgage the property he
supposed he owned.
In another instance errors in 'de
scriptions occuring over a period of
over 20 years, a suit to quiet title
was required by the attorney for the
purchaser which necessitated a big
expense to the seller of a very small
tract, eating up nearly all his profit.
Had each purchaser required an ab
stract of title prepared, such errors
would have been brought to his at
tention in time to have had correc
tions made with very little trouble.
An abstract was continued on prop
erty in 1929 just before it was pur
chased by the present owner. In the
meantime there have been several
mortgages on the property but no ab
stract work done until very recently
when a sale was in prospect. What
was the chagrin of the owner when
he discovered that a mortgage was
of record against the property which i
had been satisfied but he had not {
secured the Satisfaction at the pro- |
per time to place on record and he
said he would have difficulty secur- j
ing it now for personal reasons. The !
abstract not having been continued
during an eight year period the
owner did not really know the con- j
dition of his title although he was
satisfied in his own mind that it
was clear for a sale.
Real estate has no value beyond
the title thereto. An up-to-date ab
stract plant with its many and ac
curate records is at the service of
the public to aid in every possible
way to establish clear titles.

New Stickers
Will Identify
Visitors
New guest stickers which non
resident motorists will carry on their
windshields while traveling in Ore
gon in 1938 have been printed and
were available for use January 1st,
Secretary of State Earl Snell has
announced.
The stickers, attractively repro
duced in two colors, will accompany
a triplicate form which not only is
more economical than the former
system of registration, but also will
speed up work both in issuing sta
tions and in the home office in Sa
lem, Snell declared.
The “ Guest of Oregon” idea, inau
gurated by Secretary Snell a year
ago, has proved popular and is being
used in California also this year.
The 1938 Oregqn stickers show a
view of Crater Lake, with the non
resident registration blank printed on
the reverse. During 1937 more than
150.000 out-of-state motorists will
have registered to set a new all-time
record, according to Snell.
