THE TORRENs LAW.

Illinois hat but brief experience with
the Torrens Law for the simplifying OF
land conveyancing and land titles before
a decision of the supreme court was had
holding the statute unconstitutional. That
the experience. brief as 1t was. had Gre
atod a strong sentiment In favor Of the
statute Is shown By the result OF the cleo
ton held in Chicago on Monday last.
The objection which the supreme court
was that il conferred upon the register of
land titles the power 10 judieially deter
rhine the question as to whom the title TO
any trait of real estate rested In.
The court held that under the constitu-
ton Of the state no judicial powers Of this
kind could be vested in an executive Off
Ger. At the last session of the Illinois
legislature the Torrens law was re-
enacted, with amendments which did
away with the objections found in the su-
preme court decision. and also leaving 1t
optional with the different counties
whether the system should be extended to
land within their borders. the question to
lie determined by popular vote. At the
election held on Monday last in Chicago
the Torrel law was adopted by an over
whelming vote. showing that the senti-
ment In favor of the law was very strong,
for certainly all the numerous class whose
interests would be adversely affected by
the proposed legislation would use their
utmost exertions 10 defeat its adoption.
The experience of Chicago in the matter
Is not singular. Wherever the Torrens
law has been adopted 1t has found prac-
tically unanimous approval; and no COM
munlty which has adopted it would WILL
ingiy so back to the old and cumbersome
systems In use before It's adoption.
Whether the Law as finally amended win
stand the test Of critical inspection by the
courts remains to pc determined IL no
constitutional objections can be found TO
annul 1t. the Illinois statute can be taken
as a model by the other states which de-
sire 10 adopt the system.
