STAR, WASHINGTON, D." C., SAT‘(’RD.\‘} |ZIHLMAN BILL ASKS SWEEPING CHANGES IN CITY DEED OFFICE Gibson Charges Survey ;f 7Work Shows Staggering Congestion, Due to Old Methods—Modern Plan Sought. Based upon recommendations of ex- perts who have been conducting a survey into the administration of the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District during the last several weeks, a bill providing for a sweeping re- organization of that office was intro- duced in the House yesterday by Rep- resentative Zihlman of Maryland, chairman of the District committee. Details of the survey and the condi- tions creating such congestion in the office of the Recorder of Deeds that it takes 113z months at the present time to have a deed copled there and re- turned to the property owner were outlined by Chairman Gibson of the House subcommittee investigating lo- cal governmental affairs at the sub- committee hearing last night. The provisions of the Zihlman bill | do not enumerate all the reforms list- | ed in the recommendations of the ex- perts whé& made the survey, but it applies general and broad reorganiz- | ing influence in the office, which will make possible the execution of most of the improvements outlined, it was said.

The bill would prohibit any | corporation organized outside the Dis- trict and not now engaged in business in the District from operating until \iter such articles or certificate of incorporation had been filed. Notice as to change of name, capital stock or status of any corporation in any r ner must be given to the office of the | Recorder within 30 days after such change, according to the proposed law. The bill follows out the recommen- datlons of the survey by placing it, so - as its finances are concerned, un- the District government by provid- | 1z that all_receipts shall be depos-| ted in the Treasury to the credit of the District of Columbia, and that | \nnual estimates of appropriatlons for | ihe government of the District of Co-| jumbia shall include estimates of ap-| propriations® for the operation and| maintenance of that office. | Three positions for the office are pro- | vided in the bill—a Rt;gnr(lierl. to be ! appointed by the President, by ol he advice and consent of the | Senate, and two deputies. The record: er's bond is set at $10,00 and that of the second deputy, who has charge of_finances, at $5.000. i Mr. Gibson declared that the survey | authorized by the subcommittee, and | now complete, disclosed that the sys- | tem in use there is “about as anti- quated as any that could be devised.” | “The office,” he said, “was on July | {onial Apartments, as a re {at Alexandria Hospital, DYING GIRL CLEARS | could take care of of the instruments his_item would save | r and the | 1,200,000 n i i son us- 'ommended that such recording “The method employed in keeping -om- rk record “Printed forms for all standardized 0 rec- method now being used in 4ll principal feel | it of as type YOUTH IN SHOOTING well, Alexandria, Fired Acci- dentally, She Says.
