HOLDERS OF MORTGAGES.
viii Pay Taxes on Same After June
MANY Are Paid But Not Re-
leased MortgagOr Liable.

The Audrain county records Of chat
tel mortgages bear many mortgages
which have long since been paid. The
original holders of these instruments
will pay taxes on the mortgage, wheth
err they have been paid or not, unless
they are released according to law by
June L. En- example; A gives a chat
tel mortgage to B on some stock. The
mortgage is recorded. When A pays
the debt the original mortgage and
note are destroyed but B does not re-
lease the mortgage on record. Under
the new law B will have to pay the
tax on the property mortgaged until
it is properly released on the records.
Following is the section relative TO
the new law:
st is hereby made the duty of the
recorder of deeds Of each county to
prepare and deliver to the assessor OF
the county a correct certified list or
schedule Of all unsatisied mortgages,
deeds Of trust, contracts or other obli-
cations by which a debt is secured, as
shown by the records of the county.
Said lists or schedules shall be pre-
pared and delivered to such assessor
Immediately after the first day OF
June in each year; the said list OF
schedule shall be arranged alphabeti-
cally, and shall show the names of the
grantors and grantees, nature of in
c~umbrances, where recorded, brief de-
scription of property and debt, unpaid
part of debt, and other important facts,
The county shall pay the recorder Of
deed 5 cents for each mortgage, deed
Of trust or other security which is
properly and correctly placed on such
list or schedule"
Recorder Williams says that there
are hundreds Of mortgages which have
been paid out, but which still stand on
the records as unsettled. All that are
on the books ON June will be included
in the list for the assessor.
