Bought Abstract Records

The board Of county cOmrniss! !Ouers at
the regular monthly meeting held in
Georgetown last Monday, completed
the purchase Of the abstract indexes Of
the county records made by the Clear
Creek County Abstract company, by
making the payment of the balance Of
the purchase price of 81 600, The ac-
QUESTION of these valuable records gives
the county monopoly on the abstract
business, and is a good Investment for
the county from a business standpoint.
The indexes will facilitate the making
Of abstracts by saving much time in
their compilation. The books will he
kept in the vaults of the county clerk
and recorder where they will be acces-
sble to the public during Office hours.
The fees received by the county clerk
for preparing abstracts of title are
added to the earnings of that office, the
excess over and above the expenses Of
the Office being turned over to the
county. This revenue is available for
the conduct of the business of the
county and lessons the burden of tax
alton to some extent. The indexes
made by the Clear Creek County Alb
stract company are said to be very com
plete and carefully compared, and it is
said could not be duplicated for several
times what they have cost the county.
As time rolls on they will become more
and more valuable.
