Circle Boundaries

CIRCLE BOUNDARIES

The Kind of Farm Boundaries Mr. Beal Found in Cuba.

J. E. Beal while in Cuba observed some matters relative to land which are of interest to those who are living under the English laws of real property. Instead of the different parcels of land having angular boundaries as here every owner of land owns from the center to a certain distance each way, making the boundary line a circle. The land is fertile and valuable and is eagerly sought after by foreign capitalists. However, they are slow to invest on account of the unsettled condition of the government. For the most part, capitalists are now taking options, pending the establishment of some sort of stable government. There is also some trouble in obtaining clear titles, especially in what are known as crown lands and lands confiscated by the crown.
