Introducing him, Rae Fraser said that he had nearly years experience in the field of registration, and Was well qualified to handle a subject of particular interest to property owners. Mr. Hill said that a system ,of land registration had. been administered since 1,795, and since that time few major changes had occurred. The office in Goderich contained a wealth of information and was therefore an ideal place for individuals to acquire information with,: regard to their own properties as well as for those seeking support for research projects. Recording of land interests in the province had resulted in a proliferation of different forma, and Mr. Hill said, it had become EiPParent that, there was a need for provincial (lather than a county level of stand rdization. Survey problems arose beca e although the Original plans existed showing how lots should be laid out, they did not necessarily correspond with existing boundaries which had evolved on the basis of occupation, thus conflicting with legal descriptions. Again different surveyors, employing different methods, produced different results. Mr. Hill outlined some of the problems encountered when researching but pointed out that for a modest sum of $1 the Registry office was able to supply information dating back to 1830 and covering Crown Lands and the transactions of the Canada Company. Copies of documents were available for a modest charge, and with the introduction of more sophisticated methods of recording, an alphabetical index now existed on microfilm. Special terms were available for group projects. Referring to the introduction of the new computerized systems, Mr. Hill said that Goderich was now ready to go ahead although it was not possible to say when this would actually occur but the recommended 'block system' would greatly facilitate investigations for both private individuals and lawyers acting on behalf of their clients. In conclusion Mr. Hill invited questions from members of his audience. These covered such items as type of copies available, registration of claims to title, land acquired by tax sale and boundary lines, squatter's rights, building code requirements and designated properties. Elva Metcalf thanked the speaker and presented him with a book on behalf of the Society. Bargains, bargains, bargains • • By Doris Hunter This is Rummage Sale week in Bayfield.
