when Joseph F. Connery came
into the county recorders Office he
found the tract books and the Tor
rens system equipment run down.
It is not improper to say that the
office was very much on the bum, on
the blink, dilapidated and ram
shackle, so far as the ToTens sys-
TEN was concerned.
This is the way Peter FoOte,
president Cook County Real Es-
tate board, starts out to show Con-
nery's record as recorder. FOote
goes on:
'The Chicago Title & Trust Co.,
private monopoly in abstract writ
ing real estate abstracts, was the
leading interest to profit by this con-
dition in the recorders office. When
Conenry went in he changed things
He brought about a rewriting of the
tract books, so that those books
could be used with understanding by
ordinary people. He pushed the
ToTens system until it now hap
pens many days the number of Tor
rens certificates taken out is double
that of the highest number in pre-
WeUs years.
"And because Connery was ag-
gressive, getting things done, organ
izing for service the one publicly
owned and pubicly-managed alb
stract plant, he earned the hatred Of
the business interests who were los
ing money through his policy. The
sO-caIled bureau of public efficiency,
financed by men connected with the
Chicago Title & Trust Co., sent ex-
peTts and their attorney, Walter l.,
Fisher, to investigate Connery and
reduce his Office force. Connery's
challenge was sharp and direct He
served notice he would not only in
sist that his own office be raked with
a fine-tooth comb and searched from
top to bottom for wrong methods;

er's office in the cash interest Of the
Chicago Title & Trust Co.
Every man, woman and child in
Cook county who looks forward to
owning a piece of real estate, or who
now owns a land title, ought to back
Joe COnnery for recorder. For 20
years the private abstract interests
have been able to strangle any
thorough operation of the TOTrens
system in Cook county. Over 20
years ago voters decided by refer
endum of five to one that the Tor
rens system should be run in Cook
county. And through delay, evasion,
trickery, mainly in the county re-
cOrder's Office, the TorTens law has
been nUllifed, hasn't counted for
much. Not till ConneTy came. He
not only made it work rapidly and
efficiently through better equipment
and office force. But he advertised
it. He went out personally before
organizations Of real estate men and
citizens and urged the advantages Of
TOrrens certificates. He gave press
interviews on it. He got from the
county board a $4,000 appropriation
for boosting it in newspaper ads and
with posters.
"The TOrrens system is named
after man in Australia who started
it there. The system takes away
from private abstract companies and
all nOn-DUbIic organizations the
power to dictate or interfere with
the legality of real estate titles.
"a TOrrens certificate bought in
the recorders Office in Cook county
has behind it the guarantee of the
government and resources of Cook
county that it is a good title. The
county stands good for any loss
there might be from mistakes in the
abstract On the other hand, a
guaranteed title or policy from a pri-
vate abstract company has behind it
