WANT NEW APPROPRIATION TO
BOOST TORRENS SYSTEM


Real estate men from all sides of
the city appeared before the county
finance committee yesterday to urge
the appropriation of $50, 900 to adver-
tise the Torrens land title registra-
ton system which is now being OPP
Grated under the direction of County
Clerk Connery.
Connery for years has been fight
ing the underhanded attack on his
Office by the rivals of the Torrens
system, the principal of which is the
Chicago Title & Trust Co. He sue
cessfully frustrated another attempt
to cripple his Office few weeks ago
when the appropriation he had asked
for was granted.
The county commissioners prac-
tically decided to appropriate the
money, but deferred action to ask
the states attorney whether they had
the power to make such an appropri-
alton.
