FAVOR TORRENS SYSTEM.
No Opposition at Public Hearing
on Land Title Registration.

The New York State commission appointed to
inquire into the Torrens land title system held
public hearing yesterday afternoon in the alder
manic chambers Many lawyres attended.
The commission, which consists of David A.
Carkson G. W. Thompson, Alfred Reeves, Allan
Robinson, Henry Pigram, Ralph Falks and T. w.
Weston chairman, is to prepare a bill TO establish
in New York State the system Of registering land
titles, with notifications that Sir Robert Torrens
put into force in Australia. Assemblyman Prentice
opened the hearing Gilbert r. Hawes spoke in
favor of the system and then F. S. Ward
planned it,
IF the TOrrens system is adopted he said, 'the
occupation of the title companies is gone. EnOr
fees are paid to these companies for search
ing titles, ordinarily from 500 to $500 1t used to
cost only SO to $50 And if a piece of property Is
transferred the day after the searching of a title
the. same fee is collected again. BY the Torrens
system state will keep in a set of books all in
cidents pertaining to all pieces of property in the
state a mortgage, a transfer, lien-everything, so
that when appealed to can learn of all transac
tions relative to the piece of property inquired
about The fees 20 to the state and make fund
to guarantee titles and not to enrich large cor
porations."
There was a single opposing voice in the
meeting. Chairman Clarkson said he did not know
why no one had appeared in opposition. All sides
had been invited. The commission will report to
the Legislature February !, 1858.

cutting the canal at a cost OF sac, 0OO,-

estimated to call for an expenditure Of
$85, 000, 900. Originally 1T was suggested
that the existing Forth and Clyde barge
