TELEGRAPH ORDER TO REG PROPERTY START Registry of all conveyances of property titles in the city will be re quired before the deeds can be pre sented to the county recorder to be transcribed; the new order going into effect on Monday. Council re cently passed an ordinance requiring all deeds to be registered and stamp ed at the city engineer's office before they can be filed. Arrangements were made at once by City Assessor James C. Thompson and City Engi neer M. B. Cowden to start this work. The purchaser is also required to furnish a complete transcript giving a description of the property bought. Blanks for this purpose are obtain- COMMISSION TO APPROVE PLANS State Department of Labor Arranges to Have Body Pass on Plans Arrangements have been made by the Bureau of Municipalities of the State Departmen* of Labor and In dustry with the Borough council of New Cumberland and the recorders of deeds in Cumberland and York counties that no conveyances of plots of ground within three miles of the city of Harrisburg will be ac cepted to be recorded unless they are approved first by the City Planning Commission. Announcement of this agreement was made today, in view of the fact that big building opera tions arc expected in the vicinity of New Cumberland because of the big government supply depots to be built there. Tlie arrangement does not af fect any plans of the Government for its buildings, sidings or any other operation, but will put restric tions on any persons purchasing and developing real estate in the vicin ity. A large number of houses will in all probability be built and plots will be laid out. All of these will be carried out by private parties it is said, and before any plans can be recorded they will have to be sub mitted to the City Planning officials, as is provided by an act of Assem bly. , A meeting ot the planning body will probably be held early in April. Notices will be sent out next week telling of present developments. These will include a reference to the surveying work and laying out of streets in the recently annexed Four teenth ward; and a request from a property owner in Susquehanna township to have the place plotted. In order to protect the west shore of the river and prevent building on the banks it is likely the Commis sion \vlll take some action requiring approval of any plots which are laid out in WormleySburg and other nearby towns, requiring streets to be at right armies with the river and other provisions for width of high ways and length of blocks. TO TELL OF WAH WOIIK E. J. Cauper, formerly vice-presi dent of the North-Westerft Knitting Company, and Louis E. McLachlin, of the V. M. C. A. War Work Council, will address two liarrlsburg councils next Thursday, telling of Tnter national V. M. C. A. work in foreign lields.

The ordinance as passed by coun cil will also require all owners of property in the city to present their deeds to be recorded even though the transaction took place years ago. However arrangements for this part of the work have not been com pleted. As soon as the engineer's office force finishes new plots of the city, announcement will bfe made of dates when residents in each ward shall bring deeds to be registered. The present ruling applies only to transactions which are to be filed at the recorder's office on and after Monday. All deeds filed prior to that time will not be received at present. STATE TREES FOR FRENCH FARMS Governor Makes an Offer of 4,000,000 Trees and Men to Plant Them, Too An offer of 4,000,000 young trees and the services of Pennsylvania foresters to plant them in the war devastated regions of France has been made by Governor Brumbaugh on behalf of the Keystone state's Forestry Commission. The tree's have been raised in the nurseries of the Forestry Department and the offer will remain open for two or jhree years. A number of state for esters have been in France and hb.ve reported that extensive reforestation will be necessary. The governor's offer contemplates sending additional men from the forestry servifce of the sta\e of need ed, although forty men from that department {ire now in United States army forestry units, most of them in France. The governor's letter was sent to Col. Henry Graves, who organized the forest regiments and is as fol lows: My dear Col. Graves: "I beg to invite your attention to the accompanying communication from Hon. Robert S. Conklin, Com missioner of Forestry of this Com monwealth, in which he suggests the tender of four million white pine seedlings to the French government to reforest the eastern part of that country, which section we under stand ' has been devastated by the war. "I beg to say that the suggestion contained in this communication meets with my oordial approval, and if you will be good enough to bring this to the attention of the French authorities, we shall be very happy to carry out the tender made, and place at their disposal any reason able number of seedlings which it is possible for them to utilize."
