                                  AN ACT

     Providing for real estate deputy sheriffs in counties of the
        first, second, and third classes; and fixing their salaries
        payable by said counties; and repealing section two of an
        act, approved the twenty-fourth day of May, one thousand
        eight hundred and eighty-seven (Pamphlet Laws, one hundred
        eighty-five), entitled "An act authorizing the sheriffs of
        the several counties of this Commonwealth to appoint by deed
        chief deputies with power to act as sheriff in case of and
        during the temporary disability of the sheriff to act in
        person and fixing the salaries of such chief deputies in
        counties containing more than five hundred thousand
        inhabitants," and other acts general, special or local so far
        as inconsistent herewith.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That in counties of the
     first, second, and third classes, each sheriff may have a real
     estate deputy to take charge of all matters relating to
     sheriff's sales of real estate and distributions of the proceeds
     thereof, whose appointment shall be made and be revocable by
     writing signed by the sheriff, duly recorded in the office for
     recording deeds for the proper county, which deputy shall have
     full power to perform all duties incumbent upon the sheriff, in
     like manner as his chief deputy, with like effect in law as if
     such official acts had been done by the sheriff in person,
     including the execution and acknowledgment of sheriff's deeds
     for real estate, upon receipt of the purchase price thereof:
     Provided, That nothing in this act shall operate to relieve the
     sheriff or his sureties from liability upon their official bonds
     to the Commonwealth, but such liability shall continue as
     heretofore.
        Section 2.  In counties of the first class, the real estate
     deputy shall receive seven thousand five hundred dollars per
     annum; in counties of the second class, six thousand dollars per
     annum; and in counties of the third class, four thousand dollars
     per annum; which salaries shall be paid by said counties in the
     same manner as the salaries of other deputies are payable.
