The Torrens land registration

by few and yet never adopted. For
years nearly all in Virginia have
agreed that the reform is a good
one and should be put into opera

who actively favored it. Lack OF op-
position gets a measure nowhere,
What ia needed is affirmative action.

enactment by the General Assemb bly,.
Let other organizations take similar
action. and success is certain and
easy.
