Monday was another busy day IN the
recorders office. Twenty-Five deeds
aggregating $66,417, were filed for

One chattel mortgage for $113 was
also filed. Releases to the number of

recorded. This is taken to indicate
that there is a great deal of activity

very noticeable is the fact that the

small when compared with the num-
Der OF releases. Following is the re-
