Dear Sir: In reply to your letter above
will say that l have not time now to give
you the correct figures for the cost of the
tract index in the office of the Register
of Deeds of Eau Claire county, they were
made up long before my time in office.
I had talk with the Register of Deeds
in regard to the matter and he said that
there are volumes of tract index in his
office; he could not give me the exact
figures of the cost at the time they were
made. but said that if the county We're to
make up the same index today it would
cost at least $1,000
You will understand this is not my
figures, as said before I have not time
now to look UP the matter.

To the Committee on Tract Index:
Gentlemen: In reply to the above will
say. that our tract indexes have been
installed some thirty FIVE years ago; orig
inally we had five, one for each range
Nos. H. u 13 and IA and one for villages
and cities: since that time there have
been added one more for villages. maxi
ing total of five. I think it is a good
policy for a county to have its tract in
dexes. this enables every property owner
to ascertain the condition of the title to
his land free of charge as it is public
record Our indexes are used many times
each day and the county would not be
without them. even though we have an
abstract office in town the sr,iihlie vr-n- -

two hundred thousand dollars worth
