INSCRIPTION DE TERRENOS


En- un pals como Puerto Rico, en-
donde Ia mayor parte de la riqueza
actual consiste de terrenos de sus
mejoras, es de suma inportancia que
ell sistema bajo Ell cual se~posee la
propiedad sea tai. que exisM4oda la
certeZa possible con respecto 4 los
titulos Y colindancias de cada predio
Iy que las cesiones de propiedad pue-
dan llevarse 4 cabo con la mavor
prontitud Y economic. En- la actua-
lidad, la condici6n de cosas con res
peeto este asunto en- Puerto Rico.
eSta lejOS de ser satisfactoria, No
tan solo esta complicado el asunto
dc titulos, sino que las colindanCias
son dudosaS v las formalidades lega-
les con las cuales ha de cumplirse al
lpresente, al practicar la cesi6n de te-
rrenos o al hipotecai los, envuelve TN
gran gasto y una demora mas desa-
gradable todavia. Uno de los resul-
tados mas lamenta bles de este esta-
do de coSaS consiSte en- las difficult
tadeS que existen por parte de los
propletarlOS de terreno de hacer uSo
dc ellos en- garantia de anticipos con
los cualeS fomentar Sus propiedades
I'll desarrollo del credito agrfcola es
una de las nee esidades mas urgentes
de la lsla y no puede encontrarse
lorna mas Segura para llegar 4 ese
desarrollo, que el hacer SECURE los
titulos y las colindancias del terreno
que haya de darse en- prenda dismi-
muir los gastos del acto de hipotecar
o de hacer la cesi6n, disminuir
tambien ell tempo necesario para la
transaction.
Para conseguir este obieto, varias
de las communicates progresistas de
los Estados Unidos han adoptado la
disposition legal conocida con ell
nombre de 'Sistema Torrens de ms
cr1pclon de terrenos" Este sistema
abarca la creaci6n de una Corte Es-

Dean Beecher. heading the second detach-
nlent of boys from the Episcopal churches
OF this city left Wednesday morning over
the Burlington for the encampment at
Plattsmouth. The rain prevented many
Of the boys from making the start on
schedule time few days ago. hence the
present necessity OF sending another con-
tingent. About twenty-five youngsters,
full OF fun, went down at a. m. These
pleasure trips are annual affairs in the
diocese OF Omaha and are especially de-
signed for the choir boys and few friends
OF the local churches They are given I'M
der the auspices OF the Churchman'S club.
Beatrice and Lincoln will also send a
group OF young people thus swelling the
number to approximately 125 with a total
Of 100 sent from the city. While in camp
the boys will engage in the wholesome
pleasures Of camp life and will constantly
remain under the close supervision OF

THEY ARE ALL CIVIL NOW
Life Policy Holders Can Learn Every
thing They Desire from the
Companies Direct.


AT recent duly heralded meeting IN
this city Of the policy holders of a leading
life Insurance company" says the Chicago
Chronicle, 1T Is reported that only twelve
persons attended. although chairs had been
provided for some 30. OF the dozen who
came there were few fully primed with
harangues in favor of turning out the
present mansgenient-which, by the way,
has been IN office only about eight months
and putting in men to be chosen by the
ardent speakers in question or others like
themselves
The petty number of really honest policy
holders present after 80 much previous
drumming up seems to indicate that life
insurants generally have learned that as
sociatlons' projected in their ostensible OC-
half are mainly schemes for making fat
positions and incomes for the promoters
thereof.
These are not very naughty days at the
headquarters of any life company, and a
2-cent stamp win secure for any policy
holder full and civil answers to any qucs-
tons he may have to ask concerning his
contract or the condition of the company.
No glib talker working for fee or mem-
bership contribution to an association can
learn anything for a policy holder which
first hand from the company.
This has always been the case with the
more steady going, conservative organlza-
lions, and while their managers are patient
as ever with the opportunities OF self-se-
lected association schemers, they are said
only to smile in silent wonder at the Gre
dulity Of the few policy holders who have
been inveigled into the useless combina-
tions and the cheek of the parties that try
to organize them.
THE erstwhie more arrogant companies
as noted, are now under new management
seemingly anxious to satisfy, and at any
rate ready with every desired courtesy and
information for their hitherto rather sorely
badgered policy holders.
There is no question whatever as to the
right or duty OF policy holders to organize
| for anything that may further protect their
| interests. But that Is a different matter
| from being dragooned into associations
that have not had the least thing to do with
the upheavals in the insurance world and
are chiefly engineered by parties trying to
make good berths for themselves.
THE fact that many such one-man 'asso-
| Citations have had some sort OF an existence
for thirty years have had little to show but
disappointment to victims in all that time
and have been viewed with almost as much
pity and contempt by the careful and hon
orably managed companies as by any OF
the large and more carelessly conducted
ones is not a strictly hrst-class testimonial
in their favor
THE present attorney general of New
York who has not shown himself to b,
much OF hand at coddling the life com
panies. says OF all such associations tha
the originators simply live by agitation
and are usually themselves Legitimate OBJ
jects of investigation He adds that the
Incomes and occupation OF these agitator,
will be gone as soon as confidence is re
stored"
