Legal  Questions 
Heirs  Title  in  Real  Estate 
A.  C.  died  five  years  ago.  He  left  a 
will,  willing  all  his  real  and  personal 
property  to  his  son  IT.  C.  His  son  went 
to  court  house  to  have  place  put  in  his 
name.  The  officials  told  him  as  he  was 
the  only  heir  it  was  all  right  now  as  it 
was.  A.  0.  had  a  sister-in-law  who  held 
a  mortgage  of  over  $400  against  the  place. 
She  died  last  January  leaving  a  will, 
willing  all  to  H.  C.  The  sister-in-law 
has  another  nephew.  Could  he  hold  any 
share  after  it  was  willed  to  H.  C.?  How 
could  H.  C.  get  a  clear  title  to  the  place 
so  he  could  sell  it  if  he  desired? 
New  York.  H.  J.  c. 
If  the  will  of  A.  C.  was  probated  the 
title  to  the  real  property  passed  to  H.  C. 
The  will  should  be  recorded  in  the  county 
clerk’s  office  the  same  as  a  deed.  The 
executor  of  the  will  of  A.  should  dis¬ 
charge  the  mortgage  held  against  H.  C. 
This  will  make  a  clear  title  in  him.

Administration  of  Estate 
A  marries,  has  two  children  'boy  and 
girl,  at  time  living  in  York  State.  His 
wife  dies ;  then  A  marries  again  has  no 
children  from  second  marriage;  has  been 
living  in  Pennsylvania  the  latter  part  of 
his  life.  A  died  two  years  ago,  leaves 
his  widow  and  daughter  from  first  wife 
his  son  'being  dead  at  time  .  How  should 
his  property  be  divided  if  there  was  a 
will  should  the  daughter  be  notified? 
How  can  the  daughter  find  out  how  the 
property  was  left,  -  and  the  amount  of 
same?  She  was  told  that  there  had  been 
a  will  drawn  a  little  time  before  he  died, 
and  left  with  a  friend.  This  was  told 
to  the  daughter  by  the  friend  before 
the  father  died.  How  can  I  find  out  con¬ 
cerning  the  property  left  after  A’s  death? 
The  daughter  asked  by  letter  if  father 
did  not  leave  a  will,  but  had  no  reply  to 
the  question,  but  was  sent  a  small  sum 
of  money  once  or  twice  stating  more 
■would  be  sent  soon,  but  widow  did  not 
say  why  she  sent  it.  j.  b.  n.

If  you  will  write  to  the  clerk  of  the 
probate  court  in  the  county  where  A 
died,  he  can  tell  you  whether  or  not  a 
will  has  been  admitted  to  probate,  and 
whether  or  not  letters  af  administration 
have  been  granted.  n.  t. 
Damage  from  Surface  Drainage 
A  road  which  bounds  my  farm  on  the 
north  side  formerly  had  sluices  which  al¬ 
lowed  the  water  to  drain  naturally  to  the 
north  and  away  from  my  farm.  These 
sluices  have  become  useless,  and  the  wa¬ 
ter  in  the  Spring  backs  up  and  damages 
my  land,  and  also  washes  out  the  road¬ 
bed.  Ran  I  compel  the  town  to  build  new 
sluices?  Ran  the  landowner  on  the  north 
side  of  the  ro°d  be  compelled  to  remove 
obstructions  to  the  former  watercourse, 
or  is  it  the  duty  of  the  town  to  provide 
an  outlet?  How  shall  I  proceed?  If 
sluices  are  not  repaired  what  action 
have  I?  A.  H,  p. 
New  York. 
In  the  case  of  Winehell  against  the 
town  of  Ramillus,  the  court  held  that  the 
commissioner  of  highways  of  a  town  does 
not  owe  a  private  owner  the  duty  of 
providing  a  channel  for  the  drainage  of 
surface  water,  and  his  failure  to  remove 
rubbish  from  a  sluice  does  not  constitute 
actionable  negligence. 
The  common  law  theory  was  and  is 
that  surface  water  .s  a  common  enemy 
and  that  a  municipal  corporation  is  not 
under  any  duty  to  construct  drains  or 
ditches  to  carry  off  surface  water.  If  a 
municipal  corporation  is  under  no  ob¬ 
ligation  to  construct  a  drain  or  ditch,  it 
plainly  is  not  undtr  any  obligation  to 
keep  it  under  repair.  Of  course  the  land- 
owner  on  the  north  side  of  the  road  is 
under  no  obligation  to  keep  the  sluice  in 
repair. 
Perhaps  if  you  would  see  the  town  su¬ 
perintendent  and  talk  the  matter  over 
very  friendly  with  him  you  and  he  could 
arrive  at  some  solution.  He  would  have 
a  right  to  construct  a  ditch  which  would 
discharge  surface  water  on  your  land  if 
he  desired  to.  n.  t. 
Tax  Sale  of  Mortgaged  Property 
I  hold  a  second  mortgage  on  a  house 
and  lot.  and  a  building  and  loan  associa¬ 
tion  holds  the  first  mortgage.  The  place 
is  advertised  to  be  sold  for  taxes.  I  do 
not  know  what  to  do  to  protect  my  in¬ 
terests.  Will  you  inform  me?  C.  e.  b. 
New  Jersey. 
You  have  a  right  to  redeem  the  prop¬ 
erty  from  unpaid  taxes  and  add  these  to 
the  amount  of  your  mortgage.  We  would 
suggest  that  you  see  the  loan  association 
which  holds  the  first  mortgage  and  talk 
the  matter  over  with  them.  N.  T. 
Do  It  Right 
and  Be  Done  With  It  — 
What  buildings  are  you  going  to  roof  this  Fall  —  your  barn, 
chicken  house,  implement  shed  ?  No  matter  what  the  job  is,  do  it 
right.  You  know  it  doesn’t  pay  to  lay  make-shift  roofings.  Put 
down  a  roof  that  will  give  lasting,  weathertight  protection  to  your 
buildings — a  roof  of  Barrett  Everlastic  Smooth-Surfaced  Roll 
Roofing. 
Thousands  of  American  farmers  know  the  lasting  strength  of  thi* 
sturdy  roofing — have  found  that  it  pays  to  be  sure  that  the  Barrett 
Label  is  on  theroofing  they  buy.  For  this  label  has  a  definite  meaning. 
It  stands  for  the  more  than  70  inspections  that  Barrett  Smooth- 
Surfaced  Roofing  must  pass  before  it  leaves  a  Barrett  factory.  In¬ 
spections  to  make  sure  that  the  tough,  heavy  felt  base  is  free  from 
the  tiniest  flaw.  Inspections  by  Barrett  Chemists  to  see  that  the 
everlasting  waterproofing  compound  with  which  the  felt  is  impreg¬ 
nated,  and  then  heavily  coated,  is  up  to  the  Barrett  Standard — con¬ 
stant  inspections  of  every  detail  of  the  manufacturing  process. 
The  result  is  a  roofing  that  you  can  lay  and  forget.  Fire-resistant, 
easy  and  economical  to  lay,  it  is  giving  enduring,  weather-tight 
protection  to  thousands  of  farm  buildings  in  all  parts  of  the  country. 
Pay  a  visit  to  the  nearest  Barrett  dealer,  a  man  you  can  depend 
on  for  sound  knowledge  of  roofing.  Ask  him  to  show  you  Barrett 
Smooth-Surfaced  Roofing.  Meanwhile,  write  for  the  “  Barrett 
Handbook  for  Home-Owners  and  the  Farmer,”  a  manual  of  money¬ 
saving  information  about  Barrett  Products.  A  post  card  brings  it
