.RAPS DELAY IN
LING DEEDS

why must the real estate owner
OF Washington wait from q year
to fifteen months to have his deed
recorded?
This vexing question, which has
suggested itself more than a few
times to realty holders. has been
investigated by the Washington
Real Estate Board. through it's
secretary, James r.. Schick.
The answer is that the Recorder
of Deeds has inadequate offices in
a rented building, a limited work
ing force and is unable to use the
offices after the regular working
hours because the owner must pay
the light and heat bills.
Mr.. Schick's survey of the situa.
ton in other cities showed that
up-to-date methods have made it
possible for Baltimoreans TO re-
cefve their deeds In thirty days. In
Detroit, the rule il from ten days
TO two weeks: In Seattle, WASH,
five days: in San Francisco, three
to four weeks; in Pittsburgh, two
to six weeks; Kansas City, five to
10 days; Chicago, ten days; Boston,
sixty days; while the time limit in
the various borougl1s Of New York
ranges from two weeks in Man
haitian and Kings counties, the big
business district, to ninety days in
Richond and Queens counties.
A large number of deeds now lie
uncopied in the Washington office,
according to the board. Mr.. Schick
stated he had only praise for
Deputy Recorder Dutton and his
force, for the excellent manner in
which they are handling their
work with the handicap of poor
facilities and equipment.
In many OF the principal cities
Of the country, the survey showed.
a photostatic system, quick and
efficient, is used for copying deeds.
This method allows the return of
the deed to the owner within a
minimum space of time.
The board points out that the
office is not run at a loss to the
Government, but instead is earn
ing annually money far in excess
of the expenses.
Erection of a new and adequate
building, 1t is stated, would DE raid
for by the saving of rent and :his
surplus capacity in very few
years.

.Karnak Saved His Life,

Miller.

'I tell you, Karnak has relieved
me Of stomach trouble that defied

made my life miserable for Is
years." says Louis c. Miller, Of 716
Madison St., Seattle, Wash.
''Why, you'd hardly take me for
the same man now, and believe
I'd be warranted in saying that
Karnak actually saved my life, -
continued Mr.. Miller. "I suffered
agony if ever a man did.
ct would choke with gas till I
could hardly get my breath. Sharp
pains and cramps would hit me
right across the pit Of my stomach,
and many times I'd collapse wher-
ever happened to be.
''Td get so weak and nervous I'd
tremble like a leaf, and I suffered
so continuously I couldn't even hold
down a job. I lived on just bread
and milk for a long time, but even
that caused me misery. It seemed
like I tried everything, but I was
/ just a wreck, and was almost des-
perate.

of Karnak now and my stomach
seems in just as good condition as
it ever was in my life. All thai

Financial Statement of
State of Minnesota for 1926
Department. of Commerce Has Com
piled Figures of Interest-Oper-
alton Cost 1887 Per Capita

Washington, D. c., April 27, 1926
The Department of Commerce an
nounces a summary of the financial
statistics of the Safe of Minnesota
for the fiscal year ending June 80
1925 as follows:
Expenditures
The payments for maintenance anC
operation of the general departments
of Minnesota for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1925, amounted to $751;.
500,334, or $12.37 per capita This
includes $9,038,547 apportionments
for education to the minor civil di
visions of the State. In 1924 the
comparative per capita for mainten.
ance and operation of general de.
partments was $12. "a, and in 1917
$8.15. The interest on debt amount.
ed to $3,703,304, and OUTLAWS fol
permanent improvements, $13,842,.
lat. The total payments, therefore
for expenses of general departments
and public service enterprises, in
terest, and OUTLAWS were $49,045, 1856
The totals include all payments fol
the year, whether made for current
revenue or from the proceeds OF
bond issues.
Of the governmental costs report
ed above, $14,449,371 was for high
ways, $685. 1886 being for mainten-
ance and $10,613,486 for construc-
ton. The amount reported for inter
est payments includes $1,463,069 as
interest on the county reimbursement
road bonds which are not included in
the net debt.
Revenues
The total revenue receipts of Min
nesota for 1925 were S55, 1928, OF
$21.66 per capita. This was $19,-
987,645 more than the total pay
ments of the year, exclusive of the

payments for permanent improve
ments, and SOFAS. 49S more than the
ia .ng those for
permanent improvements. This sur
plus of revenue receipts was reflect
ed in the purchase of investments
not shown in this summary. Property
and special taxes represented 30. 3
per cent of the total revenue for
1925. The increase in the amount
of property and special taxes collect
ed was 1858 per cent from 1917 to
1924, and 58.8 per cent from 1924
to 1925. The per capita property
and special taxes were $6.57 in 1925,
$4.19 in 1924, and $3.50 in 1917.
The increase in property and spec
ial taxes for 1925 was caused by re-
ceipts from certain counties of taxes
due in previous year.
Earnings of general departments,
or compensation for services render
ed by state officials, represented 9.
per cent of the total revenue for
1925, so per cent for 1924, and
20.9 per cent for 1917.
Business and nonbusiness licenses
constituted 40. a per cent of the total
revenue for 1925, $40 per cent for
1924, and 30.6 per cent for 1917.
The decrease in the percentage of
receipts from business and nonbusi-
ness license taxes for 1925 over that
for 1924 is due principally to the
collection in 1924 of three years.
back taxes on iron ore, the delayed
collection being due to litigation.
Receipts from business licenses con-
sist chiefly of taxes exacted from in
surance and other Incorporated COM
panies, while those from nonbusiness
licenses comprise chiefly taxes on mo-
tor vehicles and amounts paid for
hunting and fishing privileges.
indebtedness
The net Indebtedness funded or
fixed debt less mixing fund assets) of
Minnesota on June 80, 1925, was
$14,717,257, or $5.78 per capita
In 1924 the per capita debt was $6.57
and in 1917, SCI.
The debt for Minnesota includes
the debt incurred for rural credits,
but does not include the county re-
endorsement road bonds. These
bonds were issued by the counties of
the State for road construction, but
