Land Sharks and Others SO Bold In
Their Juggling Of Books and De.
scriptions That Uncle Sam
May Get Them.

There are more suits filed in the
gan, to remove clouds from land titles
than there are filed for that purpose
in any other county In the United
States, including those containing the
largest cities in the country.
There have been more professional
land thieves at work in Van Buren,
County than in any other county in
the United States. and they are still
at work.
Men connected with certain lines
of business and using officials elected
in some townships as their tools are
engaged all of the time in clouding
the titles of honest and bona fide land
owners.
This fact has done more to keep the
county back than any other thing.
The bad name given to this part Of
the State Of Michigan by the land
crooks is becoming by.word through.
out the nation.
Many Of these crooks claim land
on the strength of tax titles-ob.
tanned after the rightful owners had
paid the taxes-through juggling Of
descriptions and tax books.
Efforts are to be made to reach
some Of them through Federal action.
as the peculiar kold they have on local
authorities precludes hope Of reform
in that direction.
Victims of these bands OF crooks
are advised that II they live outside
OF Michigan they can bring suit
against officials. hackers, brokers or
others who damage them or their in.
terests in the U. 8. courts.
The citizens Of Van Buren, County
should wake up to the situation and
retire these grafters to the peniten.
tiary or to some other place where
their public records cannot injure the
community.
Van Buren, County Is naturally rich
in soil, delightful In climate and geo.
graphically ideal for success in every
line.
It's prospects have been biighted.
The testimony OF all outside people
who have invested there Is that they
have been skinned and bothered by
the land shark syndicate.
