Joseph F. Haas, popular Cook
County Recorder of Deeds and
Registrar of Titles, has been looking
over the new Torrens laws passed by
the Legislature this year. He says
that House bill No. 395 is the most
important to the man of moderate
means in that it cuts SO in the cost
of registering property valued at less
than 81, 500. The examiners fees are
reduced from SIS to $5. We have al
ways felt that the costs of registra-
ton were too high for the small prop
erty owner and we had this provision
inserted in the bill.
Probably the most important and
beneficial from the standpoint of real
estate owners is senate bill No 451
Heretofore abstracts of title and cop
les thereof could only be used as evi-
dence of title in Torrens and Burnt
Record proceedings. They could not
be used in ejectment, in partition, or
in any other suits.
There also have been continual suits
over the question whether an abstract
or copy was or was not merchantable.
This bill provides for the certifcation
of abstracts by the chief examiner of
titles, and, when certified by him the
abstracts of title will be admissible in
evidence in any legal or equitable pro-
ceeding for proving title. The cost
will be nominal, not more than 81.
Christian F. Wiehe, president of the
west park board, says that mistaken
impression has been formed by the
public regarding recent ruling on
swimming pools.
Coincident with the opening of the
west park pools it was announced that
it would be necessary to make a small
charge for swimmers using the park
systems pools. This, however, was in
tended to apply only under certain
conditions and did not mean that all
swimmers would have to pay.
All children under IA are to be ad-
mitted free of charge, as in former
years. Fifteen cents will be collected
for all others who desire to use the
city suits and towels If patrons de-
sire to bring their own suits there
will be no charge made.

any of the side wall exposed. The

This is done by using precast con-

ment p3an commits the treasury to a
"stupendous indeterminate liability"
the secretary said that this feature of
the bill tends to Ilislead the people
into the belief that it would tighten
the burden on the treasury.
Instead" he continues, "it would
increase the war burden which the
American people have to bear. 1t
would greatly swell the cost of gov
ernment and virtually defeat the ad-
ministration's plan of economy and re-
trenchment"
In oposing the bill Secretary Mellon
says that most of the states have
passed individual bonus bills "in vary
ing degrees of liberality." He also
believes that the granting of bonuses
to able-bodied veterans would hamper
the aid that must be given by the gov
ernment to the disabled men.
Pointing out that the government
must pay early maturities on the pub
lie debt amounting to seven and half
billion dollars, of which five billions
fall i'm the same fiscal year, the sec
retary said that passage of the bill
would greatly embarrass the refunding
part of this debt. He continued:
"The market for outstanding govern
ment securities would be adversely
affected and the patriotic holders of
Liberty bonds, instead of looking for
ward to improved market conditions,
would have to face the threat of fur
ther depression.

pie. that would so greatly strengthen
the market for Liberty bonds as the
assurance that congress had once and

or further borrowing" the secretary

that in the best interests of the coun-

PARIS. March 24.-Thes efforts Of
diplomats to send the Crown Prince
Humbert of Italy on a mission to
Washington accompanied by Gen.
Diaz. received a setback at Rome
tonight.
1t Is revealed that Queen Eleanor
is firmly opposed to the trip on ac-
eount Of the Princes youth and his
'impressionable and affectionate ma
ture.
In court circles IL is an open
secret that the Queen fears a repe-
tition of the difnculties resulting
from the love match of the Duke
OF the Abruzzi and Miss EIkins.
which nearly resulted in marriage
but which was frustrated at the
last moment by the efforts of the
royal family.
Prince Humbert is the hand
soonest prince in Europe. In tenn
permanent he is said to resemble
Prince Carol of Rumania. who
broke his mothers heart by his
marriage to a commoner.
Diplomats are pointing out that
the Prince OF Wales made a sue
cessful return from his American
trip without becoming entangled.
However they have been unable to
break down the resistance of Queen
Eleanor. who claims that the
charms of the American society
beauties, while unable to pierce the
Prince of Wales armor of British
stolidity. might easily launch a
fatal barb at the heart of the fiery
young Italian heir.
