LAUD TITLES. Letter Cram George It. Clarke, K*q. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Sir: Among oil tlie articles lately written for the papers in regard to the restoration of the evidence of titles to realty in the County of Cook, not one seems to meet the present and immediate wants of this community. There are three things that soom to ho al most self-evident, vis.; 1. TherecordsoftitleofCookConntyshould be speedily restored, to facilitate the transfer of real estate, and the obtaining of loans lor re building. 2. This can only be dono by Legislative enactment. I*. The whole County of Cook should not bo put into chancery by any such law as has .been proposed. There appears to me to be a very speedy and simple way to* compass this whole matter of the restoration of the lost records; and that is by a general Jaw, which shall not only moot the present emergency, but which will be equally applicable in all future cases ■When the records of any county in this State may be destroyed. At the risk of being considered egotistic, I “will, by your kind permission, through the medium of your paper, give the public my views on that subject, inasmuch as I have been requested so to do hv several legal gen tlemen to whom I have presented them, and who have strongly endorsed the same. The plan proposed is this: Let the Legis lature, among its first acts, pass a general law, carefully worded by some of our best legal minds, to embody something like the following, viz,: Whenever it shall be shown to the Gov ernor of the State of Illinois,! bv the swobo testimony of five or more freeholders in said State, that the records of titles to roaltv in any county in said State have been destroyed by tire or other means of destruction, the said' Governor shall immediately appoint a commission, composed of three or more dis interested freeholders in said State, one of shall be a Judge of a Circuit Court in said State, not of the Circuit iu which said County having so lost its records is situate; which said commission shall proceed at once, with all possible despatch, to replace said records so lost or destroyed. And, iu so do info they shall first proceed to ascertain whether there has been a copy, or abstract of said destroyed records made and preserved by any person or persons, and whether said abstracts of title have been considered by the commu nity substantially correct, and of such nature and character that the realty iu .said county has been uniformly transferred from person to person upon the evidence of title contained iu said abstracts. And, to that end, thev shall take the sworn testimony of at least one hundred freeholders in said county. And, if it shall appear to said Commissioners,from said testimony, that there are such abstracts of title iu existence, of the nature and char acter heretofore specified, said abstracts of title, or such portions of the. same as. shall he deemed necessary, in the opinion of said Commission el's, to fully restore, as far as may be, a substantial copy of said lost reconls, may be purchased bv said county; and the same shall, then and thereafter, he held and deemed in law as the original records of said county, to the time to which they arc completed or brought down, and shall thereafter bo received aud taken in all courts of record in law and equity, to be evidence of title, to the same extent, and in the same way aud measure, that tno original records of said county, from which said abstracts were made, would or could have been received aud taken, had not such original records been destroyed, and to no further extent, aud in no other way. And, in case said abstracts of title were not found by said Commissioners to be a complete abstract of the said destroyed records down to the time of the destruction of the same, then, and iu that case, it shall i and may be lawful, and it shall bo the duty of said Commissioners to take other and the best evidence obtainable to supply the missing Parts of said original records not obtainable by means of said abstracts of title. And, upon completion of the said work of the said Commissioners, they shall make oat iu writing a full and complete re* port of their action had in the premises, and shall transmit the same to the Governor of said State, who shall cause the same to be preserved in the archives of said State; whereupon the said Governor shall cause a written notice to ho served upon the Recorder of said county having so lost its records, of the potion of said Commissioners in the premises. And thenceforth .said Re- corder, and his successors in office, shall keep and regard the said abstracts, so taken and approved by said Commissioners, and so pur chased by the said couuty, together with the other evidence so taken by said Commission ers, to complete the said destroyed records, as the full and legal records of said county to all the realty therein situate, down to the time of the said destruction of the said original records. It seems to me that a law embodying the substance of the above, carefully prepared by a competent person, is all we need, in ad dition to what we already have, to place every real estate-holder in this couuty hack in the same position, so far as our records arc concerned, in which ho was placed before our county records were destroyed. Thereafter the same means can be used to verify and establish titles to realty which were in use before the fire. But, Mr. Editor, for the sake of afflicted humanity, pray don’t let any set of men drag qa all into chancery. Let those go there who wish to, but let it be voluntary on the part of each individual. Such a calamity at this time as putting the whole county into chan cerv would, I fear, prove more severe on this people than has been the groat lire itself, with ai. 1 of its untold horrors. The importance of this subject is so groat, and all baud? are so intimately concerned in a proper disposition of this question, that I would suggest that a meeting of projwrty holders bo called oil at early day, to take the above matter into consideration, and to appoint a committee of prominent real estate holders—old and influential citizens—to pro ceed to Springfield, and urge upon our Legis lature to speedily enact some law, similar to the alwve, to relieve ns from the sad dilemma in which we now find our real estate interests placed. Respectfully submitted, George R. Clarke, of Clarke, Layton Sc Co. Chicago, Nov. 8, lietter iron Hiram Barber, Jr., E>q. To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune: Sir: As you seem disposed to allow the subject of real estate titles to be thoroughly ventilated in your paper, I beg leave to pre sent the following outlines of u plan which will. I think, afford speedy and substantial relief*in many cases: 1. Allow a party interested in real estate as'owner, creditor, or otherwise, the record evidence of whoso title or interest has been destroyed by tire, to have an abstract or claim of title recorded, and declare such record pritfa fade evidence of title as far as shown by the same. 2. Require such party to make application, by petition or writing, to one of the courts of record of the County of Cook, for the re cording of abstract or chain of title; notice to be given in gon end terms, “To whom it may of such intended application, by puolication at least thirty days, stating time and place of application. Allow all parties interested to appear and make objections in writing. 4. Let any Judge of said courts hear such application and objections (if any), and dis- Eose of the same in a summary way: and. if e bo satisfied that the abstract of title is one made before die lire, iu good faith, by respon sible abstractors, from the original records, or prepared since the i) re by such parties from data compiled from original records, and is as perfect us can ho obtained, uu4 that the applicant is the owner or hona fide claimant of the premises, then order such abstract or f claim of title to be recorded, by the Recorder of Cook County. 5. Let the order of such Judge he made in open pourt. and be final—leaving parties who desire in litigate or impeach the title shown by the record of abstract or chum of title to proceed by original bill. <5. Provide tmjt, after the lapse of sixty days from the recording of such abstract or: chain of title, any party purchasing or tok-1 ing an incumbrance on the property iu good faith without notice of any/uthcr title than i that shown by the record of such abstract or chain of title, shall be deemed an innocent purchaser, and protected to the extent of the j title shown by the same (except, of course, incumbrances properly shown P t record, as judgments. &c.) 7. In order to protect parties having judg ments, thececordof which hasbeeu destroyed by lire, provide for the restoration of the same In the manner pointed out iu Section 15 of Judge Gary's bill. 8. In order to avoid duplicat ing abstracts upon the record, permit parties claiming title through a common source, to join iu on application for recording a common abstract down to the commou sourcefor whole blocks, or large tracts if necessary. Prohibit the recording of all other ab stracts, or manufactured documents,. Jpany legislation upon this subject, It is proper to wjnember that our courts of chan try arc aiiteffy armed with full aud com plete powers tor perfecting any title bv pro ceedings by origin*! Jffll; and that, in the a .ftcuce of any legislation whatever, we coma Still protect ourselves, iu tho most un doubted manner, by a resort xo ovr courts, i 'The delay would he great, however. It jf not our titles which wc have lost, through' Ithe stupidity and "criminal careless ness of our public functionaries, itla only the recorded evidence of the same *md vhat we now want m to restore as nearly as possible, iu some cheap pnd Inexpensive caanner. that which we have lost. Iff baying oad selling heretofore, wc have ocieu with perfect confidence xn the correctness end re liability of our abstracts. 1 have the good fortune to own asiuall lot iu the South Division. My. title was undoubted before the tire. The rocord-ovidcnce of that title now gone. I have an abstract. All 1 ask fn the shape of remedial legislation is a law author izing me to record my abstract, declaring such record yrfma facte evidence of title as! far as shown. My abstract has always Iwou received and acted upon a* such heretofore. i nm persuaded that this is also the case with thousands. Jt is not true that abstracts# or the books VOLUME 25. are now evidence, either or of any other grade. As umat wr or law, they amount to nothing, except as supported by the testimony of living wit nesses—the men who prepared them—and tneir name is legion. It may be objected that,by this method, we are perpetuating clouds and defects in titles. There are, at least, ten thousand people in this city mid county, who can show a clean title, or chain of titles, in this manner. Are they to he denied speedy and effectual relief, because, hero and there, a man is haunted with the nightmare of a shaky or dubious title f Nor is this ail. We have a statute of limitations, making seven years’ possession, under color of title and payment of taxes, evidence of title. A very large amount of property was held in security under this statute iu this city and county before the lire- Many such titles had been purchased iu good faith, nud the lauds were m the possession of such purchasers. To such parties it is of the utmost importance to have record evidence of the original coJoi'- dble title It mav also bo said that, by tills plan, wo will enable the abstract-men to dictate to ns iu tbti way of charges. Not us. it imposes no obligation on the State or county to par chase any books or compilations, it requires no commission; it has no steal in it. More over, there are undoubtedly a targe number of original abstracts still in existence, which would ho available. And, iu any event, it leaves every man to deal with the abstractors m regard to his own title, and if they are un reasonable, ho can tile his hill in chancery, and proceed to settle his title by decree. The past history, however, of the several gentlemen engaged iu the abstract business, is an ample guarantee that they will he always ready to serve the public at a fair rate of compensa tion. No opportunity for intermeddling will be given to mischievous speculators in the misfortunes of the public. These abstracts are to ho recorded only upon the order of a court. The Judge is to ho satisfied that the abstract or chain of title is made in good faith, is full and fair, and as perfect as can be obtained; and that the applicant is the owner of the real estate, or a oona tide claim ant of some right or interest therein. Yours truly, Hiram Barber, Jr. Chicago, Nov. 0. Still Another View* To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Sir: Several letters have keen published iu The Tribune from eminent legal gentlemen of Chicago, urging that tho only sure ami safe means of perfecting our titles is by a decree from a court, by a process like that suggested by Judge Gary’s bill, or some modification of it. Do not tho writers tno lightly consider what must ho regarded as an Insuperable objection, viz., the delay occa sioned by such intricate and expensive ad judication. All must admit that delay in building, leasing, selling, and raising money ouproperty is suicidal to our interests; and human ingenuity c» devise no surer method to fritter away golden opportunities, and dim the glory of the future Chicago. Our energies for the next five years should ho devoted to the rebuilding of the eity, and not in bringing suits, hunting proofs of title, and involving every lot and tract of land in Cook County in the almost interminable mazes of chaucery proceeding. Supoose that the mode of procedure should ho made as simple and concise as possible, and that all laud-owneis should be com pelled to tile hills or petitions to perfect their title. In most cases the original conveyances have been lost or consumed, and it is impos sible for the owner to prove by parol testi mony a complete chain of title, generally not more thou one step backward—the deed which they themselves received. They are obliged, then, to have recourse to the abstract hooks to procure abstracts of title to all their lots and lauds, and present them to the court as the only evidence of a chain of title that they can produce, and on winch all their claim depends. This, then, would involve the making of tens of thou sands of abstracts and it is needless to sav that, for the scores of thousands of lots and tracts in Cook County, it would he a work of years, even with extraordinary energy and all possible facilities. The work, then, of procuring the crideuixe of title requiring years, we can imagine what length of time would ho required by the courts to examine them with other avail able evidence, and from them render decree If all other business in the courts were set aside, and all its energies concentrated in this task, it must still be a work of years. What, thou, is tho prospect when to a con stantly-accumulating pressure of ordinary business is added the reinstatement or com mencement of tho thousands of old causes which crowded the old dockets be fore the lire; tho future would be dark and uncertain, indeed: for, during the weary years, Hope deferred would make tho heart sick,” and the unfor tunate owner, oscillating between the court room and tho Collector’s office, would soon find his energies paralyzed and his enter prise extinguished. But how can this delay he avoided: for surely it is necessary to do something in this matter, ami that at oneef Pardon a few words on this subject: Tho original evidences of title are swept away, but we have a substitute in the ab stract-hooks saved from the fire. Those now are the best and only evidence of title we have, and i*ion them rests every valid claim of ownership. They an; substantially the recorde, and stand in place of the original. There is not a man but who has the fullest confidence in their general correctness and reliability. Of course there are errors, for these are inseparable from human affairs: but they are extremely rare, and they can be remedied by a comparison with other sots of books. Before the lire, nearly all property bought and sold on the evidence of those abstracts, without reference to the public records: and what wo did thou from choice and custom, we surely can do now from ne cessity. Suppose that one or all these sets of ab stract books were obtalued by the couutv, and, after a competent examination, were, by necessary legislation, declared to consti tute evidence of title; that a time should bo set within which claims adverse to those shown by the records could bo set up, and ample provision made for the production of other evidence in such cases; that, at the expiration of such time, such ad verse claims shall bo barred, except os against persons laboring under (Usabilities and in cases of fraud, aud to those the usual rale should bo extended,—would not the ti tlcs£>e confirmed in the owners, at the expi rrlion of that time, as substantially as if by a decree, and saving all the expense and delay? Give claimants the ut most facilities for prosecuting their de mands. but oblige them to strike the blow for their rights, and that without delay. With the great mass of property there would bo litigation, and the perplexing problem would work Its own solution. Wo have more rea son to fear too much legislation on this mat ter thou too little. There is another phase #f this subject, and that is the influence of public sentiment on this subject. Business is exact, suspicious, and imperious; but, after all, is pQiupcllcd to acknowledge the potent influence of this miirhty power; aud public sentiment will endorse the easiest and most expeditions method of settling this impor tant question. Years ago men looked bus nciously on abstracts of title, and preferred, icfore purchasing, to look up the original records themselves but soon millions of dollars *pero staked on the accuracy of those abstracts, ana their general reliability was not questioned. 80 sooii wphld it bo us again: the business world will rejsume its former chan nels, and, perhaps, suouwemay be congratu lating ourselves that, among the'benefits conferred by the fire, was the sudden disap pearance of a legion of irregularities, techni calities, clerical errors, and bugbears, that caused the honest land-owner continual alarm and apprehension.

Hon. CEO. W. MILLER, Superintend ent Insurance Department, State of New York: Dear Sir: The failure of many Insur ance Companies by the Chicago fire, after assurances had been given that they were able to pay all demands, and to pursue their business, has Justified an apprehension In the public mind, and, perhaps, In your own, which it Is important should be allayed. We, therefore, so far as this Company is concerned, request you, at your ear liest convenience, to investigate its affairs, and to ascertain its position and ability to fulfil existing obligations, and all that may arise in the ordinary course of its business. We wish, also, to call your attention to our Increase of capital, already largely over-subscribed, and desire to know when we can close the subscrip tion books, and call in the money, un der your construction of the statute. Your prompt attention will be regard ed as a favor* Very respectfully; CEO. T. HOPE, President. Insurance Department, State of At the request of the Continental In surance Company of the City of New York, I have taken the earliest oppor tunity, since the adjournment of the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners to investigate the af fairs of the Company, and I find Its condition to be as follows: Its assets, amounting to $2,847,- 307.54, are Judiciously and safely in vested. Its capital of five hundred thousand dollars is unimpaired,and it has a sur plus of net assets largely In excess of the amount required to reinsure its outstanding risks, after providing for ajl other liabilities, including Chicago losses. Its losses sustained at Chicago are in course of rapid adjustment, and leave the Company with abundant ability to afford indemnity to its customers, and to respond promptly to all customary claims. The subscrlptionsto Its voluntary ad dition of five hundred thousand dollars to Its capital are much greater than double the amount to which stock holders are entitled, and the subscrip tion books must yet remain open until the 20th Inst., at which time the sub scriptions may be made payable.
