parity in the matter of salary and conditions of
servce for solicitors with County Medical Officers,
and County Engineers in the Local Government
service. The proposals submitted by the Society
relate to whole time solicitors only. The Minister
had promised to consider the matter in the light
of the representations received.
Registry of Deeds.
FOLLOWING representations made to the 'Society
by the Dublin Solicitors' Bar Association a com
mittee reported to the Council that the practice of
keeping transcripts of memorials in the Registry
has been abandoned as an economy measure. The
committee were of opinion that this is very unsatis
factory as in the absence of transcripts the public
must have access to the original memorials which
is undesirable for several reasons. The question of
delay in transacting business in the Registry of
Deeds was also raised.
The Council decided on
the committee's report that the Minister for Justice
should be asked to receive a deputation.
Land Registry.
A COMMITTEE reported that following the abandon
ment by the Registry of the practice of showing
the areas on Land Registry maps the Land Commis
sion have instituted the practice of requiring a soli
citor to lodge certified copy of the Folio to show the
area with an application for sub-division.
The
Committee were of opinion that any saving in the
Land Registry by omitting the areas from the maps
will be more than offset by the additional work
involved in bespeaking copies of folios.
The
Council on the Committee's report decided that
the matter should be brought to the notice of the
Registrar of Titles and that he should be asked to
review the position.
