than they were before. Formerly
titIedeeds showed the dimensions of
the land, its locality, the name of its
owner, and its supposed market value.
The last item Was recorded for pur-
poses Of taxation, and large liberties
were then taken with respect to it,
owners being generally careful that
emily a fraction of the sum actu-
ally paid or obtainnbIe for their
property should be shown on the
face of the title-deed. IN the
cases OF transfer there were no trOu-
bleSOme formalilieS OF heavy expense
inseparable from such transactions 10
Western countries. All that was ne
cpsSary was that the old and new
owners or their authorized repre-
SentntiveS, should attend at the pro-
per office, and ON payment of a small
foe obtain official registration ut the
change of propriei"Iship. The new
eystem still further simplifies the
matter, as all records will be kept in
one book, and an official entry there
will satisfy every purpose. 1t will
also be recognized that The values
recorded in the register ARE taxable
v%nIues, quite independent OF sales or
purchases effected in the market.
The safe custody OF the registers will
be II matter of moment IN a country
where fires are so frequent and so
