MORE LAND TRANSFERS
LAST Year THAN IN 1912
Register Of Deeds Quamms CompIIssI
Comprehensive Statement OF the
Years Business

The detailed statement of
business done in the register
of deeds office for the year 1918
is at hand, from which the
following facts are gleaned:
There were l.4Sl papers of
all kinds placed on file and of
record in his Office during the
past year. Of this number
1925 were instruments pertain
ing to real estate, and 6255
were Of personal nature; that
is, chattel mortgages, bills of
sale, farm leases, etc.
The total amount of fees col
lected during the wear was
81, 1O4. 80, being about $4,000
more than for the year 1912.
The number of transfers rec
orded Warrant aud quit claim
deeds was 9l2, being 1877 more
than for the preceding year.
1t is interesting to note that
there were eighteen more re-
leases of real estate mortgages
than there were mortgages
placed on record.
The registration of farm
names is a new duty of the
register of deeds, a law to that
effect having been passed at
the last session of the legisla-
ture. Only twelve farmers
have availed themselves of this
law for registering their farms,
but it is expected that quite a
large number will have their
farms named when the law
becomes more generally
known.
