Is column showing the fees charged
Tor real estate instruments. The Reg
lister OF Deeds informed your commit
tee that he had furnished 1imselfa a fee
book, but that between Saturday after
noon, October 4, 1902, and Monday
forenoon, October s, 1902, someone un-
known to him had torn out the leaves
containing list of his collections
and consequently we we're unable to
ascertain the amount Of fees charged
for work not shown in the books.
Regarding certified copies Of chattel
mortgages and other instruments in
the Office Of the Register of Deeds we
lind from the reports that for Decem-
Der, 1899, the Register reported six and
that no further report has been made
therefor except that for the months Of
July, August ana September, 1902, the
count of chattel mortgages falls short
OF the report 11s which, the excess, the
Register of Deeds informs us is the
number of certified copies Of chattel
mortgages for the three months
We had before us several bills
rendered by the Register Of Deeds to
business men, and duly receipted,
showing charges and collections for
certified copies Of chattel mortgages
and other instruments. in one case be-
ing SO to one firm in a month, and the
money therefor has not been paid over
to the treasurer, an examination Of
some Of the balance sheets shows ia
certified copies Of chattel mortgages
not reported which number includes
21 of the 8s referred to above.
; Regarding chattel mortgage alb
stracts. the Register states that about
$1,000 has been received for this work
and that while he assisted in making,
abstracts Of titleto real estate be re-
ceived no fees therefor.
The examination Of the books took
more time than we expected, and,
therefore, we had little time to look up
certified copies but believe that had we
more time given we could get more.

OILED BRICKS AS FUEL
A Barber's Plan For Solving
the Coal Problem.
NOVEL WAY OF HEATING STOVES

How Frederick AnthOlH OF New York
Secures Heat by Soaking CSmnon
Building Bricks In Ke1osene-Says
His Tests Have Been Successful.
Brick ordinary red building brick
as fuel is not fallacy, says the New
York Evening World. The bricks may
be used in the stove like ordinary Goals
for either heating or cooking purposes.
Frederick Antholz has solved, he says,
the problem Of the lack of anthracite,
and he has proved the fact to the salts
faction Of not only himself and the
members of his family, but to scores Of
persons in his neighborhood, to whom
he has literally impaired his secret.
He is enthusiastic over his discovery,
and so are those who have tried his
plan, for that matter. It works like a
charm, they declare. Here is his idea
for setting the coal trust at Defiance:
Saturate relay Of ordinary house
bricks in a bucket Of oil. One gallon Of
oil, costing 10 cents, will effectually lu-
bricate ten bricks, and each brick will
burn with an intense heat for period
Of time sufficient to cook the entire
meal for family Of six persons. The
cost lies only in the amount of oil con-
sumed, and gallon Of oil will suffice
Tor the days heating and cooking.
Antholz has been using brick fuel for
the past few weeks; and he has come
to the conclusion that he is henceforth
independent OF the coal trust. Besides,
he declares, the cost is fully 70 per
cent cheaper than with the use OF coal
He has experimental also with the oil
brick until he has discovered some
things which viii be useful to others,
who win be glad to know OF this nd
mirahle substitute Tor the pricssass

IN the frst place, says Anthols. # is
necessary to soak the bricks thorough

For this purpose he suggests the use Of

4 on October 13, 1902, at 10 a. M, we re-
port that we have made thorough ex-
animation Of the books Of the Register
of Deeds since his appointment in
November 1899 covering s11, ,242. e5 and
find: ftts
1st-On actual count Of chattel mort
cages fled in his Office since November
s, 1899, together with liens, agree
ments, bills of sale and other instru-
ments specified in the Chattel Mortgage
Index we find the same correctly re-
ported with the following exceptions:
For the month Of May, 1901, he re-.
ports 3O1, the count being 302.
For the month of January, 1900, he
reports $50, the count being 100.
For the month of May, 1900, he re.
& ports 2so, the count being 275.
For the month of September, 1900, he
reports 1877, the count being 142.
For the month of October, 1900, he
reports 1852. the count being 174. max
ing loss of 81 in liens at 25 cents each,
or $5.25.
On examining the real estate instru-
ments we find that the amount of fees
received for real estate instruments re-
corded December, 1899, has been erron-
eously reported, being short $3.50, and
for the month of July 1901 the report
shows $236 instead Of $246, difference
of $40.
In other reports we found the reports
accurate SO far as the books show with
the ception that in three reports the
numbers Of instruments have been
transposed, which however makes no
difference in the amount of fees receiv-
ed and reported. We called the atten-
tion of the Register OF Deeds to these
errors we have noted and he promptly
offered complete report therefor. We
believe these mistakes to be merely er
rors in calculation. mo fee book was
