>re h'minary examinations on a
large number of additional
title insurance policies in con
nection with Kodiak property
and loans. He expressed plea
sure at the interest which h; s
been shown iis Kodiak in bet
tering title conditions.
“The basic titles in Kodiak
compare favorably with those
in other towns of the third di-J
vision except for the Leite and j
Allman additions,” Kelleher
said. He added that his inves
tigation shows the Leite ad
dition was sold without physi
cal survey and until the tract
is surveyed his company is un
able to issue policies in that
area,
Kelleher said the residents
of that area could correct the
impairment of their titles by
deeding all the property to a1
common trustee. Then the land
could be surveyed, as was
done in Kodiak in 1940 by the
Townsite Trustee, and deeds
can be issued upon correct
property descriptions. ,
I Marshall Crutcher, presi-:
1 dent, of the Bank of Kodiak,
said that it will not be possible
to finance FHA loans in the
Leite Addition until the resi
dents of the area see fit to
| carry out some such plan as
Kelleher suggested.
