two dissenting votes, the Torrens land
bill was reported out of the assembly
judiciary committee with the recon-
mendation that it do pass"
This bill deals with one of the most
important subjects of legislation now
pending, and the strong support that
it received in the committee is prac-
tical assurance that it will have com
paratively easy sailing through the
lower house II was introduced in the
assembly by Peairs and in the senate
by Hewitt.
The primary purpose of the proposed
amendments to the present law is to
make the law workable. The law as it
stands is defective and unworkable.
As amended by the Hewitt PEARS bill
ii will vest the issuance of title or
proof of title with the county through
the office of the recorder, thus in a
large measure relieving the abstract
and title companies of this function.
It's proponents claim that it will save
property owners large sums in fees, as
well as simplifying the process of
transfer of title.
Reports from Chicago, presented at
the committee hearing, were to the eff
feet that the Torrens system is work
ing smoothly and growing in favor
steadily. At the present time the prop
erty registered under the act totals
