This Timo t?i< Illinois >■ nat* Adopts t* ■ Forrvux Land BilL hi .■ ingfleld, 111., April —The senate pa- 1 the Torrens land title hill this m , u with 'only three dissenting vol Those voting in opposition to the bill were Senators Crawford, Hcwell and Campbell of Hamilton. The bill was defeated last Thursday, receiving only nineteen votes, seven less than a constitutional majority, but this morning thirty-one members voter for it, and the eighteen votes against it last Saturday dwindled down to three. The bill was brought before the body as a special order on Humphrey’s motion to reconsider the vote by which the measure was lost. This motion prevailed by a vote of thirty-two yeas to one nay. The bill was then passed. This measure provides for the simplification of the land transfer system of the state, ‘ abolishing the necessity of abstracts and of costly examinations of litl >s. and substituting in their place a system of, registry by which it becomes as • any to s'-ll or buy a parcel of land as to transfer a registered government bend or a bunch of stock. Each parcel of realty will be given a page in the books . of a public registrar, who win issue c rtificates to the owners, duplicati the entries on the register. Ail that will be necessary to transf r a piece of land under the Torrens system will be to have the transfer made on the reg ••ter, and ■ to procure the issue of a new certificate ; to the purchaser. ’.Xs every lien upon i property, in order to be valid, must be ■ ent' red upon the certificate and upon the books, the extmt status of a yk .•>_■ of ;u’oj tty will b< apparent at a • giam-e : nd the uncertainty and red taie of realty transfer will be reduced i to a minimum. The chances of the measure in the h0:..50 are believed to be excellent. 'pe.i.aly in view of the emphatic rot. ir tl.e senati.
