The City Plan Commission is aware of the fact that a large amount of detail work will be called for in supervising the transfer of real estate so that this work mey.be handled.ex- peditiously. Maps must be prepared showing the platted and unblaited areas as well as the re- corded plats. Provision must be made for facilitating the transfer of property in unrecorded additions.
