The closing lecture of the lating to home ownership was deliv- | ered before the Y. M. C. A. class by | A. G. Bishop, vice president of the | ity and hics,” by 15-Minute Service Begins Tomorrow At 8 A. M. ESTATE. District and Washington Title Insur- ance Company, who discussed the subject of real estate titles. In ex- plaining the functions of the modern title company Mr. Bishop sketched the history of private ownership of real estate and referred to the time when the delivery of a deed and pos- session constituted a complete trans- action. As communities developed and transfers of real estate multiplied a system of recording such tra tions came into existence and as real estate dealing became more complicated, he declared, it was necessary for the pur- chaser to do more than merely accept a deed and possession .in order to satisfy himself and insure proper title to the real estate purchased. Attor- neys at law performed this service and examined the records pertaining to titles, issuing their opinion as to the validity of titles. Later years saw the organization of title com- panies to ca on this Work. Such companies maintain quite an exten- sive plant in their offices, which, in fact, is a reproduction of all trans- actions involving real estate titles. ipts of deeds, mortgages, me chanics’ liens, judgment suits, prot and equity court changes in the records of the office of the surveyor of the District, and all other matters that affect the valid- ity of a title are daily recorded in the offices of the title companies and in mining a title complete search is made of all these records to deter- mine the status of the title.

The pay- ment of existing mortgages in cases where refinancing occurs, the proper release of such mortgages and the proper disbursement of the purchase money are tremendously important items to both the purchaser and sell- er of real estate as well as the rower and lender on mortgages, and in these matters the title company sumes full responsibility for the proper consummation of deals when it is employed to do So.
