new DEED BOOKS
FOR REGISTRARS
OFFICE COMING
ITO Blank Volumes Cost S.
500-Biggest Work Is
Writing Up New
Records.

Harry Pearce, county register of
deeds, yesterday ordered l10 large
index books to take the place of
those consumed or irreparably
damaged in the court house fire
Sunday night.
The books cost $50 each, or $500
for the no. The biggest expense,
however, will be the labor of tram
scribing the records from the dam
aged books and getting from other
sources the records which were
contained in those entirely de-
stroyed.
Mr.. Pearce will get delivery of
the first 10 books October 9, and
then a force of men, probably work.
ing day and night in two shifts, will
begin the actual labor of writing up
the books.
1--WE are doing business now,"
said Mr.. Pearce. There are other
sources from which the information
regarding abstracts on many pieces
of property can be secured, though
not as conveniently as from our
records. The abstractors have much
of this information. The real es-
tate firms that laid out additions to
the city have abstracts of property
in those additions. But until the
indexes have been replaced our work
will be crippled seriously"

lister of deeds is in the juvenile

system and getting the building in
condition to be heated when the
weather becomes cold.
The window frames in many
places being entirely burned away,
temporary windows are being
placed about two feet inside the in
ner wall so as not to interfere with
putting in the permanent frames
and windows when they can be OBJ

The county commissioners, in the
emergency, have drawn money from
the miscellaneous fund to pay for
this work, pending action by the
legislature to provide funds to do
the actual work of rebuilding.
A large body of soldiers from
Camp Grant is now quartered in the

ridors and court rooms Tuesday
