Soldiers Record Discharge Papers Filed at County Office
In a county recorder’s office scene the remark that “they are making money of us soldiers” sparked an explanation that a 50 cent recording fee applies. Miss Jennie S Bird offered to record without cost if the law allowed, noting the fee is required by state law and she is accountable for each document. Yesterday set a new filing record with 134 instruments, 78 of which were honorable discharges for soldiers and sailors, as many veterans brought papers to be permanently archived.
