SEN ATE TO DEI IDE FATE
OF TORRENS LAND TITLE BILL
ATLANTA, Ga.. July 20.—Upon the
action of the state senate now depends
the outcome of the long light for an up
tc-date. efficient and inexpensive sys-j
tom of land title registration in Geor ■,
gia, which has been advocated for
years by newspapers, farmers and far
mers’ organizations, merchants and
bankers, loan concerns and others in
terested in the state’s economic wel
fare and general progress.
The bill establishing in the state a
modified form of the Torrens title reg
istration system was passed in the
house by an overwhelming majority
yesterday and was immediately trans
mitted to the senate, where speedy pas
sage is hoped for by its advocates and
supporters.
The bill was drawn by a commission
created by the legislature, and has been
pending several years. It was opposed
by the title guarantee companies
and others who have large sums invest
ee in title abstract plants and by at
torneys whose practice consists large
ly in the making of abstracts for
clients.
