Show TORRENS LAND BIU IS VETOED FOR "LACK OF HARMONY" "Great confusion and lack of harmony" are the reasons, why Gov. John C. Cutler yesterday vetoed the Torrens land title bill. Gov. Cutler In his explanation declares de-clares that the bill might cause confu-sloi confu-sloi as It was not" compulsory on the land owners to register their title under the system. Because the bill did not compel com-pel every land owner to register his title, the chief executive asserted that It might be Ineffective. The system has me't with considerable success In the States where It is used and in none of them is the law compulsory. In Illinois the law Is not compulsory as it would congest the courts for years to come if every owner was compelled to register. As it Is. a steady strain of work passes through the office. Under the system the State guarantees th. title to the, owner. In order to start th. title in the office out .clear, a bill to quiet title is filed In the courts and then filed with ' Torrens land office. The records after that take but a few minutes min-utes and an abstract of title can be secured se-cured at once instead of waiting several weeks or days. |
