The proposed Torrens bill. meas
ure providing simple system Of LAND
transfer. and fsthered by the State
Grange. was Endorsed by the Detroit
Real Estate board by a decisive ma
jority, Thursday night. after the sub
ject had been exhaustively discussed
in an open meeting In the Fellow
craft club.
James w. Helve. state dairy and
food commissioner. F. C.. Shipper
chairman of the legislative commit
tee of the Real Estate board, and
Judge Stephen b. Clink. of Muske
gon, who drafted the bill, champion
led the measure. explained away al
objections to the evident satisfaction
Of the real estate men.
The abstract men OF Michigan were
represented by c. M. Burton, Detroit
and State Senator Walter r, Taylor
OF Kalamazoo. who spoke In opposi
sion to the bill at great length, pre-
dieting confusion. dissatisfaction and
expense to the owners OF real estate
and the community at large In case
the Torren play Is adopted. These
men declared that while their abstract
business profits would be increased
under the Torrens plan OF real estate
transfers. nevertheless, for the good
OF the community and for the future
welfare OF the state and the stabil
ity of land titles. they were opposed
to the system.
Mr.. Helme met the arguments OF
the opponents OF the bill by showing
In detail just how land is transferred
under the Torrens plan. He cited the
case OF Illinois, where the plan Is
now giving immense satisfaction, and
declared that the abstract men oppos
cd the plan because IL hurt their busi'
ness. He said the Torrens system
would largely do away with abstract
men and thereby save a needless ex
pense. He also declared that two
years ago the abstract men to his GER
tain knowledge raised a fund and EN-
ployed lobbyist to defeat the Tor
rens bill.
After Mr.. Shipper and Judge Clink
had been heard from the board went
into executive session and gave the
plan It's hearty Endorsement. The
board also decided to assist the State
Grange In obtaining signatures to the
. number OF 1900. to petitions that
will bring the bill before the legis.
lature under the Initiative.

they had never seen anything like
