Fresh activity of the Chicago Title

Torrens system is discussed in a
statement of Peter Foote, president

league of Cook county.
Thousands of dollars have been
spent in printing and mailing anti-'
Torrens literature to real estate deal
ers in recent weeks. The Real Estate
News is being sent free to real estate
offices all over Chicago calling Tor
rens system advocates "a motley
crew of hapless individuals who
blame their failure in life on others."
The Chicago Title & Trust Co. is
the owner of the Real Estate News,
according to. Peter Foote, who says
it shows "abject servitude to the title
company and any article which in
any way opposes it or its methods is
denied admission to its columns."
The so-called "guarantee policies"
of ' the big title company cost more
and are not as safe as Torrens title
certificates issued from the publicly
owned abstract plant of the Cook
county recorder's office is Foote's
main charge.
