Record piesents a novel plan |
n* for increasing the value of real estate aa
as security for loans:
1,0 Boston, Mass.
r- Editor Manufacturer*' Record:
10 I observe that an article which 1 lately
wrote in the Century magazine upon the
y Torrens system of registering land titles
P has attracted the attention of General
Alexander and other of mv Southern
9 friends. I may venture to call attention!
's to a matter whereby land may be converted
into a security on which money
u can be borrowed from banks and bankers
without the necessity of making a
? conveyance of the land as security for
0 each loan. It is a plan which has not
" yet been adopted, and to which there
may be objections unkuown to inc, but
1 in all but one respect the suggestions
' that I make are a part of the common
! practice in many places, especially in ,
' Philadelphia and Baltimore. What I
suggest is this: j
The conveyance of land by the ordi
nary method is by registry of deed, under
the guarantee of a title insurance '
company and on condition of the pay- .
mcnt of a ground rent without any
promise to pay a principal lump sum se- c
cured in part by mortgage iu the usual 0
way. I do not promise perpetual ground n
reuts, but ground rents terminable at the ?
option of the buyer or lessee on given 8|
notice, not terminable at the option of
the seller or lessor. It is the common j*
practice, uotably in Philadelphia, to sell ^
and convey land subject to a terminable
rent under an insured title to capable J*
men, who, being iu good health, also
get their lives insured for an amount L\
' equal to the valuation of the land. The
lessees theu join a building society, and jV
thus procure the means for building a :!
house on the leased lot, becoming ulti- *
mately their owu landlords by payiug up
their assessments in the building society
and by ultimately compounding the rent 'l
by payment at a valuation in one sum P
either iu installments or in one payment 8s
The plan which I suggest is to add
one single element to this method, name- |e
Iv, thnt the obligation to pay reut upon 'n
tlie land should be represented by what T*'1
tain period in advence,>}N^ 1 J pe q{ rot

chase of reut certificate No. 1, and so on n
through No-. 2. 3 up to 10. When he '
bus purchased all the lent certificates at v
$100 each he will have be< ome his own I
landlord. These rent certificates consti- '
lute a iicn upon the laud as good to him, *
John Smith, as they are to the original *
holder, and he need not ctiicel them. 8
Or let us suppose that John Smith, be- '
iug the owner of land free of cecum- '
brauce, upon which his house stands and '
which constitutes his farm, executes rent 1
certificates recorded noon that farm with '
a trust company, title insured, and him- 3
hiins If becomes the posses-or of such '
certificates, would no' these become the '
first lien upon the laud, not as a mortgage,
but as a lieu, subject to foreclosure
if the rent is not paid. Would not these
transferable rent certificates then become
available to be deposited with banks,
bankers or trust companies as security for
temporary loans fron seasou to seasou?
-1 A 4-11 1 A.
I am not a lawyer nuaeauiiut ieu wimt
techui al difficulties (heic may be iu the
way, but this seems to me to be the easiest
way, under our present foimof registry
of title by deed, to put iund into a
. form in which it c in he assigned as security
for temporary loans w ithout going
. through an examination of title, and
I without the execution of papers of con
, veyance aud insrtgage each time that a
I loan is made.
In presenting this subject, permit mo to
call attention to the fact that the craze
for more depreciated money in the form
? of depreciated silver coin or for governl'
ment paper or for government louns, hns
"" about run its sli >rt and dangerous course
" The South, of all sections of this country,
being dependent upon the sale of its ex
y cess of product for foreign export, has a
v greater interest in maintaining the puseut
staiulaid of value on the unit of a gold
IS dollar than anv other tection of this
1 country. Its lack has not been want of
mnnov. but want of credit?want of bank
lng lustitut ???!?, ana want ot facilities
lt for borrowing money even on good seeur,,
ity. The South, of all sections of this
c country, can least afToid the discredit of
nl debased silvei, and also possesses the
jt surest control over the gold of the world,
IS if it chooses to maintain the standard of
nH value. It, theicfore, sefmfpfobable that
the movoinent which is now being made
vn for taking the tax off the circulation of
? State banks, supplemented by methods
which may render it easy to borrow true
e money of the best kind on the best kind
of security, will presently pi ice the Southad
ern States again on the road to progress
Id and to greater and t renter development,
rd In is with this end in view thar I proof
sent these somewhat < rude suggestions for
?t readily converting land into a bankable
io seeuiity on which loans may be negotiatia,
ed, payable in s undard coin of the 'est
'he kind; that is to siy, in coin which if
worth us much after it is melted as it
1' purports to be worth In the coin itself.
That is the only kind of coined money
that is good. Our present silver dollars
are bad money because they do not meet
this condition. They are worth but
seventy cents after they are melted.
Yours truly,
Edward Atkinson.

who will be pledged to the Ellsworth 1
statesman's support. If Mr. Blaine should
consent to be a candidate, Mr. Hale would 'p
hare an advantage over him at the out- w
et.
Mr. Blaine is ignorant of the talk. He (j,
would undoubtedly have the influence ,|
and support of Tom Heed and Captain j,
Boutelle. Dingley would naturally grnv c,
itate to Blaine, but he would do nothing
to imperil Ida chances fo; Fiye's place in p
1895. A light between Blaine and n
Hale would shake up the Republican .,
party in Maine. It is not unlikely that ,,
Gov. Burleigh would jump into the arena ,
as a candidate. Mr. Blaine'a friends aie .,
in earnest in this matter. At the coming s
Portland Convention, when the Hepuhli- |
cans nominate their caudidate for Gov
ernor, it is said that a resolution will he 'j
presented recommending Mr. Blaine bu ,

received n communication from President
Harrison which speaks in glowing terms
of General Felix Agnus' services to the
administration during the past four

to place a Southern man in his
cabinet. It is an expedient and wise
move, but there is no one close enough
to the I'rcniileut in the South to be created
Secretary of State. The tinnl arrangement
will be found to be that Secretary
