STATISTICS SHOW
MARKETS STRENGTH
Registers office in Brooklyn
Buster Than at Any Time
Since Boom in 1906.

Surprising statistics OF the strength
indicated by the number of papers re-
corded in the Registers Office, have lust
been compiled by Register Webster OF
Kings county During the first three
months of the year the Kings county Of
flee handled more than four times as
many papers as New York county and
nearly SIX times as many as Bronx
county. The greatly increased figures
for April indicate that these rates will
grow larger as the year progresses.
During the month OF April Just closed
Mr. Webster received for record 4,9tl
deeds, 1852 mortgages, 1,742 satisfac-
tons, and I3 miscellaneous papers, a to-
tai or 1883 documents. This Is an In
crease of nearly 22 per cent. over the
March business. which totalled $500 pa
pers, and an increase of "a per ce mt. over
the business Of April last year, when
1926 papers were recorded. The total
number of papers for the first four
months of this year Is 33,445, as COM
pared with 1882 for the same period
last year, an increase of II per cent.
These figures show the Office to be buster
now than at any time since the boom
year of 1906, when the figures were
slightly larger.
Chattel mortgage business has not in
creased in the same proportion as the
rush OF real estate papers, but this de-
partment also has been busy There
were 4.6lS chattel mortgages filed Last
month, as compared with 1929 for the
same month last year. The total for the
first four months is HISS, as compared
to 1901 for the same period last year,
In the meantime the office has become
not only self-supporting but extremely
profitable for the taxpayers. The re-
ceipts for the month just past were Ss3.-
95O.72, the largest in the history of the
Office. The total receipts for the first
four months this year were SOS, 1855,
also a new high record for the office.
The total expenses of the Office for the
four months were $73,929.7S, leaving a
surplus in the city treasury of $24.S65. 90
clear profit to the taxpayers thus far
this year.
These figures do not include the
mortgage taxes collected by the register
The mortgage tax department of the
office has also been extremely busy.
The taxes collected last month were
S5i,SS5, as compared with $2212O.7e in
April of last year. The total for the first
four months is s166,s75.67, as compared
with s63,3S662 for the same period last
year. The mortgage taxes thus far this
year are the largest the Office has collect
ed since 1910. Taxes were collected on
3,O76 papers last month, making a total
of 1871 thus far for this year. as COM
pared with 1857 for the same period last
wear,

MexicO's Drastic OIL Rules,

The issue of Ell Pueblo for April
II says that the Mexican Department
of Industry and Commerce confirmed
the report that the following clause
appears in all concessions for the ex-
ploitation of oil properties:
This concession will be declared null
for any one of the following reasons:
For the transfer of this contract or any
of its concessions to any foreign
Government or to admit it as a
partner. &c. that. Furthermore, there
are many petroleum companies which
have not wished to prove the legitimacy
of their rights to the properties they are
working, and that these companies may
at any time and in accordance with
Mexican laws lose all of their rights by
the cancellation OF concessions"
