buying that land and not doubtful
clam toit We should have a law
that would make it as easy for small
land owners TO buy, sell, and hold
land as for millioraires. The man
who owns great blocks of valuable
city property employs an expert to
look after his titles, but he who owns
only a little residence lot, is apt to
find himself swindled by doubtful
abstract or a questionable deed. The
law should be clear and explicit, so
that the land owner or purchaser of
land would be freed wholly from any
doubt as to the validity Of his title.
