Mr. Alfred W. Bays,

Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir:

I have examined the abstract of title to the property described as

Lot 14 in Block 1 in Brown's Addition, to Jonesboro village.

*This form (here filled up by the author of this volume), copyright 1903 by the Chicago Real Estate Board.

Said abstract consisting of

(1) Printed copy of forty-four (44) pages, certified to be a true copy by the Chicago Title and Trust Co., from the government of the United States to March 18, 1874.

(2) A continuation of ten pages consisting of a printed copy certified by the Chicago Title and Trust Co., from March 18, 1874 to October 27, 1894.

(3) A second continuation of 4 pages by the Chicago Title and Trust Co., from October 27, 1894 to June 4, 1902.

(4) A third continuation by the Chicago Title and Trust Co., consisting of 3 pages covering the dates from June 4, 1902 to April 4, 1903.

(5) A fourth continuation by the Chicago Title and Trust Co., consisting of one page, covering the dates from April 4, 1903 to May 4, 1902.

(6) A fifth continuation by the Chicago Title and Trust Co., consisting of 3 pages covering the dates from May 4, 1903 to December 29, 1905.

(7) A sixth continuation by the Chicago Title and Trust Co., of 2 pages covering the dates from December 29, 1905 to November 11, 1909.

(8) A seventh continuation by the Chicago Title and Trust Co., of 3 pages covering the dates from November 11, 1909 to June 9, 1912.

And from such examination I am of the opinion that the title to said property on June 4, 1912, was in

John Do subject to the following:

First: A trust deed dated June 12, 1911 and recorded June 19, 1911, in book 11245 at page 356, signed by William Smith and Nellie Smith, husband and wife, to William H. Jones as trustee to secure their note bearing even date therewith for eight hundred and eighty dollars ($880.00) payable to the order of themselves (and by them endorsed and delivered) on or before three years after date with interest at 5 1/2% per annum payable semi-annually and 7% per annum after maturity.

Second: A special assessment for a system of sewers levied for ($38.80) thirty-eight dollars and eighty cents, payable in twenty annual installments confirmed December 15, 1906, all of the installments which are due having been paid.

Third: Rights of parties in possession, question of error of survey, claims for liens where no notice has been filed of record. Fourth: Taxes for the year 1912.

Very truly yours,

William H. Jones.
