TUNNEL OPENED
GOOD TERMS FOR CITY, TOO
Realty Brokers of Queens Erpress
Their Viescs about Belmont Route.

In response TO invitations sent out early IN
the week by the transportation committee OF the
Real Estate Exchange of Long Island, repre-
sentatives Of the civic organizations OF queens
together with many realty developers and other
persons interested in that borough, met yester-
day afternoon for a conference preliminary 10
the hearing on the Belmont tunnel before the
Public Service Commission on November II
The meeting held in the oflces OIL the eA-
change. No. SOB Fifth avenue.
The majority Of persons present were in favor
of the early operation of the Belmont tunnel
but only under conditions that would be pene-
fetal TO its future patrons. 1t was also lhe
general sentiment that it would be preferaDle
10 demand that a franchise be withheld from
the tunnel owners if to give to the owners
franchise meant large concessions from the city
There was a wide diversity of opinion as 10
the question of fare through the tunnel. 1t is
the intention of the combined organizations and
individuals cooperating with the exchange to
effect If possible, a harmony of ideas on lhls
subject and bring the matter before the Public
Service Commission clearly and concisey. 1t
was declared by all present that the meeting
was particularly demonstrative of the fact that
the plea Of Queens Borough before the COM
mission would be thoroughly representative OF
every interest of that borough. Steps were
taken for the holding of another meeting prior
20 the hearing. at which every organization OF
Queens will be represented, it is thought by
large delegations and at which those not con-
nected with any civic body will have equal op-
portunity to voice their ideas. The meeting
will be on Thursday evening, November =, ana
the place of meeting will probably be Jamaica
d Mauier Mclaughlin, chairman OF the trans
nortation committee of the Real Estate Ex-
change of Long Island, presided at Yesterdays
meeting He outlined the work already done by
the exchange preparatory TO the hearing, telling
of a visit which his committee made TO August
Belmont and the application made last week TO
the Public Service Commission for hearing.
n Stewart Mcknight, president of the Real
Estate Exchange, said he believed the Pubic
Service Commission had the power TO give the
nublic the use of the tunnel without necessarily
involving the question of a franchise or OF af-
fecting the present litigation in connection with
the tunnel Mr.. Belmont's attitude, he said, was
apparently receptive only, that he was open TO
propositions. believing that the burden was on
the public to take the initiative The attitude
of the Commission, said Mr. Mcknight, ap-
peared 10 be that that body could not act on the
Belmont tunnel until it given reason TO act
and that, perhaps, even then it might be able TO
do but little.

TORRENS SYSTEM HIT.
Commission Hears attack on Man.
ner of Registering Titles.

Arguments were heard Yesterday against the
TorTens system Of registering land titles by the
New York State commission IN the Adermanic
Chamber al City Hail. Only speakers opposed TO
the system were heard. Commissioner Henry
Pssrarn presided and Jabez Holmes ir-, represent
ing the Lawyers Title Insurance and Trust Com
pany. made the principal argument.
Mr Holmes gave statistics and figures TO show
that the system had proved a failure in the few
states that had adopted IT. He argued that while
such a system might do for Germany, Australia
and England, II was not feasible for this country,
and he said he believed II would be declared
constitutional II a test case were brought before
the United States Supreme Court NO one wants
the system" said Mr.. Holmes The title com
panies are willing 20 aid the commission in passing
any legislation that will be good and improve the
present statutes governing the registering OF land
titles but they do not want the Torrens system
not because its adoption would affect them fnan-
ciaily for they do not believe ii would, but be-
cause they believe it would be bad legislation"
The expense of such system 70 the state would
be enormous. the speaker said, and far in excess
of the revenues derived from it. The indemnity
clause of the Torrens system was the especial Oh
feet of Mr.. Holiness attack and he expressed the
opinion that it unconstitutional. He did not
think any court would permit man to be de-
prived of his property simply because he had not
appeared TO defend its title after advertisements
For whom II may concern had been published.
