FEATJDULENT EECOEDS.





The matter of frauds upon the records of
real estate was brought into puLlic notice some
time ago tlirougli tbe medium of our columns,
and, although it was made the subject of special
and excited comment by some of the daily
papers, nothing was suggested to prevent the
possibility of the evU. The truth is, that no¬
thing better than the careful publication made
in this paper can be suggested, except additional
security in the acknowledgment of all papers for
record, and an official publication of the facts most
important in disclosing the matters of record.
There are frauds of various kinds which are con¬
stantly peipetrated, and for v?hich there is no
legal remedy. Chief of this is the practice of
inserting a fictitious valuation in deeds, or an
unknown and untrue consideration in any in¬
strument for record. The greatest detriment, iu
SQch cases, is done to real estate and the taxable
interests of the city. The inequality of assess¬
ment, whereby the metropolitan district of the
State is called upon to bear an undue share of
the general taxation, is directly attributable to
this system of forced and extravagant valuation,
which, as a matter of record, is pointed to as
authentic, and is claimed to constitute a fair
basis for assessment.                      -

We might mention other frauds boldly com¬
mitted or begotten of errors, the details of
which the limits of this article do not permit.
There are enough of them, however, to require
a complete and official publication of aU matters
of record, with such explanatory notes or memo¬
randa as will disclose errors and compel their
remedy. By this means the safety of the rec¬
ords would become more assured, and the public
and individuals would be better assured against
imposition and loss.
