HOPPER DEVISES
NEW INDEX SYSTEM
Innovation Lessons Work OF
Title and Other Searchers.

Register Hopper Of New York Coun-
~, says he has devised and put in
effect a system Of posting real prop
erty instruments on the official block
index Immediately after they are pre-
sented for record. The system became
operative on September /.
This Is an innovation and is an in
creased convenience to searchers and
others who have occasion 70 use the
block indexes" adds Register Hopper.
Under the new plan. instruments are
indexed in the final block index within
an hour Of the time they are presented
for record, and all instruments record
ed are indexed in the proper block on
the same day they are presented. This
eliminates the necessity Of referring
70 the daily ticker index for any in
struments except those presented for
record during the current day.
ITO accomplish this Improvement

TELLS WHAT TILDEN
COMMISSION DID
Council Shows How 1875 Body
Solved CITY Problems.

The advisory council OF Real Estate
Interests has prepared a brief resume
Of the investigation into the affairs Of
New York City by the legislative COM
mission OF 1875, believing the conclu-
Sions arrived at by this commission
may be especially Of interest 10 tax
payers in the light Of the proceedings
at the Constitutional Convention re-
lating 10 home rule for cities and in
view Of the hearings upon the city's
financial condition TO be held by Sen
ator Browns legislative committee.
The commission was appointed by
Governor Tilden pursuant TO a legisla-
tive resolution Of May %, 1875. 20 de-
wise a plan for municipal government
so as 20 relieve taxpayers Of the mis-
chiefs and public burdens both Of debt
and taxation under which they labored.
William VI. Evarts was chairman Of the
commission, while among its members
were distinguished men, like James G..
Carter, William Allen Butler, Joshua
VI. Van Colt. Simon Sterne and Henry
I. Dimock Over one year was devoted
10 the investigation and preparation Of
the report, that recommended the es-
adjustment Of a board of finance for
=
our present Board Of Estimate and APP
portionment This board of finance
was to consist Of not less than six, nor
more than fifteen, members and to de-
termine the city budget, tax rate and
general fiscal policy OF each city in the
state. In cities having a population Of
over 100000 inhabitants the board OF
finance was to be elected by electors,
who for two years paid an annual tax
on property owned by them and Of the
assessed value Of not less than $780, or
who paid yearly rent Of not less than
$3.50. In cities of less than 10000 in
habitants the board Of finance was TO
be elected by any one who paid taxes
for two years and by all tenants paying
not less than 800 a year.
The two paramount evils in the gov
eminent Of New York City at that time
were accredited to the accumulation OF
an enormous permanent municipal debt
and the excessive increase of annual
expenditures for ordinary purposes.
