MANY CHANGES IN
CITY PROPERTIES
Last Week Was One of Larg
est in Many Weeks, Re
ports Show
As had been anticipated by real
estate dealers in the city the usual
rush of property transfers develop
ed during the last week keeping
clerks at the county recorder's office
busy receiving the documents and
filing them. As the winter sales had
been slightly lower this year clerks
at the office who are transcribing
the deeds! are already working on
the ones which have been filed this
week showing that the force will
soon have the books up-to-date.
An unusually large number had
been reported during the last few
days and complete records for the
week are not available but sales re
ported during the first few days with
descriptions of property which
changed hands follow:

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 morning conference for
women, will foe held at the home of
Mrs. John H. Weiss, 325 North Front
street, at 11 o'clock, and the even

at 8 o'clock at the home of W. I*.

able at the city engineer's office or
will be furnished upon request.
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."
