This ln short, makea tbe suate the guarantor of the titles of estate.

The law waa overturned because It unfortunately conferred upon the County Recorder judicial power, wnlch made It unconstitutional. To-day ReuresentaUvs Mc Donald, of Montgomery County, reintroduced the old law. save that It contained aome corrections. The foremast of. these waa giving to the Probate Court the dutiea which it conferred upon the County Recorder and wiping out th property tax provided in th law for the establishment of a guaranty fund.

The new section provides that the aggrieved party shall have tb right to proceed against Tall former guarantors. Personal service la also provided for, which was an omission of the old law. The same author offered-a bill deducting from returns for LaxHtUsha wJi estate all mortgages up to tha sum of $1,000.
