aa Deputy Register under Alfred Boulton wee interviewed yesterday regarding tha atale-ibento unqia hut week by Register O'Loughlln In which the official pointed out plena for the detection of forgeries In official documents aad the matter of expediting eearchea and making It easy for any cltlicn to ascertain definite ip- formation regarding each and tvary pur-cal of laud owned in the County of Kluge have read with conilderable interest the statement made by Register O'Loughlln explaining what he to endeavoring to do In the Register's office" said Mr Thompson "All progressiva work If proparly conceived should be encouraged Mr O'Loughlm'a statement touches on several points namely: The danger of forgery of notary and commtoaloner of deads signatures The difficulty of determining in tha Reglatcr'a office the ownership of any piece of real property the location of which to known The failure of the Board of Estimate otc to appropriate the money needed' to care lor the records which are In the cellar of the Hall of Records "In considering theae It to well to beer In mind that toe principal function of tha office to to praaerve evidences of title The Register is an administrative cfflclal having only quasi-Judlcla! powers Every evidence of title received by him for recording muat recorded Hla Judicial powers extend Imply to tho question aa to whether uiey are in proper form It to doubtful It he would have any power to refuse to record a deed tnat la known by him to be forged Pina Would Result In Endless Ll tiffs tlon "During the administration of Alfred Boulton whan 1 served as Deputy Register a system of requiring notaries -o fils thalr algnaturaa waa Introduced primarily for the purpose of enabling the copyiete properly to copy their signature as many of thorn ara Illegible To add to tha dutlea of tha Register the duty of examining algnaturaa for tliclr authenticity would Involve the employment of handwriting experts and probably result in endless litigation The avowed purpose of tha Register Is a good one but haa no authority under the law to carry out hla purpose and tha Board of Estimate would hava no legal power to appropriate mousy for auch a purpose tha second point In Mr statement what ha say Is vary true Even Is tha tax office tha names of this parsons credited aa owners cannot bo relied upon This inability to determine tha ownarahip of a given piece of property by reference to some simple record to not a serious hardship It limply means that when a person wants to buy a place of property and ha cannot locate tho owner ha will have to hav a search made Usually thla owner-khlp to more easily obtained by inquiring In tha neighborhood and it 0001 hardly proper that for thla purpose alone tha register's office should he expected to keep simple record of owners The register naively stats tbffW ouch a record were kept the necessity for title search would bo avoided but this to aot ao as tha title does not depend only upon tho last Instrument recorded hnt on all of the inathunanta recorded for a number of yean prior thereto and upon llena nnd Judgments which may hava bean recorded in tho other offices of record "Under title registration thlo to not and It to to hopod that la tho near future our tltlo registration tow which has keea clarified by Judicial decisions may bo simplified by further legislation so a to enable real estate tranactlona to bo made more simple sod expeditiously third point In Mr O'Loughlln'a statement In reference to the accumulation of records in tha eallar of tho Hall of Records to Interesting Whan I had the honor of bolng la tho offlea tho only records which wars kept In the cellar war the old abstract sheets which had served their usefulness and were of doubtful value units an

nbout O'Loughlln'i statement Is exceedingly auggeatlva of changes that should bo considered In the laws governing the register's office hut the changes cannot bo made offhand by tb register bin-self'
