THE TORREES SYSTEM.

In electing a Delegate To the
State Legislature Clarke county
should see that their candidate
favOrs the passage of 4 law putting
into operation the Torrens SYSTEM
of land registration.
In this section, where great
deal of money Is borrowed upon
real estate security, it would be of
great benefit.
The Torrens system operates in
the following manner:
l. y title is examined once Off
cially. and confirmed by order of
Court. That ends the matter. and
cuts out the endless examinations
of titles now necessary. Your
title IS registered, and YOU have
made permanent Improvement,
which will last as long as the law
prevails, and will never call for
betterments or repairs.
,. You are then given a certifi-
cate of title. which guarantees to
to all the world that you have such
title as is set forth therein to the
lands therein described for exam
pie, life estate, or fee simple.
in whole or in part, free from en-
cumbrances or subject to such en-
cumbrances as are mentioned in the
certificate.
3. You can deal with this certifi-
cate of title almost as freely as with
a certificate of stock. because
everybody can see from the certiti-
cate exactly what your title Is.
This will put your real estate on
a footing with your personality,
and will add millions to the business
capital of Virginia.
The Torrens Act will help the
farmers and everybody who owns
real estate in the country, as we'll
as in the city.
1t will kill the business of the
land grabber in Virginia.
1t will enable the State to collect
her taxes promptly, and no man 5
land, when registered, can be sold
for delinquent taxes without his
knowledge.
1t will help everybody who deals
in real estate.
1t will lessen the cost of transac-
tons in real estate, stimulate and
enlarge the market, and thus in
crease values; and when a poor
man buys a home he will get a
good title to it and no one can take
it away from him.
1t will promote development of
the whole State by settling titles.
And it will invite immigration, be-
cause strangers will not hesitate to
buy such guaranteed titles.
