                  Act of May 8, 1919, P.L. 160, No. 106               Cl. 16
                                  AN ACT

     Relating to the indexing of sheriff's, coroner's, and tax deeds
        in the office of the recorder of deeds; imposing the expense
        of such indexing on the county; and providing that such
        indices shall be notice to all persons.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That all sheriff's,
     coroner's, and tax deeds, heretofore entered in the records of
     the court of common pleas of any county in this Commonwealth,
     including the minutes or record of the acknowledgment of such
     deeds, may be indexed in the office of the recorder of deeds of
     the proper county, in the regular grantee and grantor indices of
     deeds, or in a grantee and grantor index arranged in a separate
     book or books known as the Sheriff's and Tax Deed Index Books.
     In either case, such deeds shall be indexed, in the grantee
     index, in the name of the grantee or grantees therein; and in
     the grantor index, in the name of the defendant or defendants
     and of the terre-tenant or terre-tenants, if any, or in the name
     of the person or persons who were the owners or reputed owners
     of the property conveyed by such deed.
        Section 2.  All books and material, and all clerical labor or
     assistance, necessary to make and install such indices of deeds
     heretofore indexed only in the prothonotary's office of any
     county in this Commonwealth, whether indexed in the regular
     grantee and grantor indices or in a separate book or books kept
     for that purpose, shall be furnished and provided by the county
     commissioners at the expense of the county, and shall be paid
     for out of the county treasury.
        Section 3.  The index of all sheriff's, coroner's and tax
     deeds, indexed under or in accordance with the provisions of
     this act, shall be deemed to be sufficient legal notice to all
     persons interested of the record and contents of such deeds.
