P. H. johnson has commenced an
action to remove the cloud from the
title to his land, caused by reason of

leases. They are clouds on the title
J and SO long as they remain there the
owner will not be able to secure loan
on the same or dispose of the land at
sale. It is probable that MIR. John
son will have no trouble to remove the
cloud, but it is costing him the ex-
pense of legal process.
