TORBENS SYSTEM ENDORSED.
Spartanburg Real Estate Board Fa.
vors its Adoption.
Spartanburg, October 10.?At a meet
ing of the Spartanburg real estate
board this body put Itself on record as
being in favor of the adoption of the
"Torrens system," of registering land
titles. This real estate board is com
posed of about fifteen of the leading
real estate agents in thn city, who have
banded themselves together in order
that by co-operation they may accom
plish more for the good of their pro
fession.
The fame of the Torrens Land Act
lias extended around the world and has
introduced a new system for the de
termination nnd registration of titles
and the establishment or boundaries.
To be adopted to the registration of
lauds in immense tracts which sold
at so much per square mile Instead of
so much an acre of foot, this system
was devised by an Englishman, Sir
Thomas Torrens, wdio at the time was
collector of customs at Adelaide, South
Australia. He embodied his ideas fn a
bill, which became law in 1858. It
has since been adopted in Victoria,
New South Wales, Gueenland,' West
Australia, parts of Great Britain nnd
In the county of London It is compul
sory. British Columbia and other Eu
ropean countries.
In America the friends of the ays
tem are making much progress^ In
Cook county, Illinois, there ha* been
$20,000,000 worth of property register
ed under 3,645 applications. On Massa
chusetts 3,000 applications registered
property valued at $35,000,000. In,
Colorado and Washington the law has
recently been adopted. In Minnesota
the law was at first restricted to the
three most populous counties, but it
has since been adopted over the en
tire State. This was done only after
a successful trial of six years. The
United States government has put the
system in force In the Philippine Is
lands. A committee from the New
York legislature Is Investigating the
merits of the new law with a view of
establishing it.
The system is simply this: A judi
cial determination to a piece of prop
erty and the Issurance of certificate
under the direction of the court setting
the fact of the ownership and incuin
brances, If any. Wherever the system
is put in force it will win its way, be
cause it is modern up-to-date and bet
ter, more simple, safer and more cer
I tain system. It Is less expensive, both
to the owner and to the taxpayer and
I prospective purchaser. It will tend
to enhance the value of real estate by
making it a quicker asset. Because
it offers a good title absolutely guaran
teed by the State against a title based
on the opinion of an attorney, it is
the best system ever devised to make
a title, be it good or bad, available for
immediate use
The people ot the country are be
coming educated to the need of such
a system, and the step taken by the
Spartanburg real estate men In meet
ing with much commendation all over
Spartanburg county. The fanners
have become Interested In it and it
is probable that it will he adopted in
the near future.
