§ 291-b. Recording conveyances of land in towns in Cattaraugus county;
  duties  of  county and town clerks. Every deed and will relating to real
  property  in  Cattaraugus  county,  outside  the  cities  of  Olean  and
  Salamanca,   and   every  judicial  decree  establishing  the  right  of
  inheritance to real property within Cattaraugus county shall, before the
  same be hereafter recorded in the office of  the  clerk  of  Cattaraugus
  county  be  presented to the clerk of said county together with a carbon
  copy or copies  of  the  substance  thereof,  equal  to  the  number  of
  townships  of  the  said  county  in  which  land  is  conveyed  by  the
  instrument. Such copy or copies shall set forth the date, consideration,
  the names of the grantors and grantees, the mail address of the  grantee
  and  a description of the property conveyed as set out in the instrument
  of conveyance. Such copy or copies of an  instrument  of  conveyance  of
  land  within  the county of Cattaraugus, outside the cities of Olean and
  Salamanca, shall be retained by the clerk of the said county  until  the
  first day of the month succeeding the date on which it was received, and
  he thereafter shall transmit immediately all such copies received by him
  during  the  preceding  month  to  the clerks of the towns in which such
  conveyances have occurred. Hereafter the clerk of Cattaraugus county  or
  any  subordinate  in  the office of such clerk of Cattaraugus county who
  shall record any instrument  of  conveyance  of  real  property  without
  receiving  and  transmitting  to the town clerk of the town concerned, a
  copy thereof as provided herein shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. At the
  time a conveyance is offered for a record a  fee  of  twenty-five  cents
  shall  be  paid  to  the  county  clerk  in addition to any other moneys
  required to be paid to entitle the deed to be recorded.
    The town clerks in each of the towns of Cattaraugus county outside the
  cities of Olean and Salamanca, shall enter the copies of conveyances and
  all appurtenant data so received from the Clerk of Cattaraugus county in
  a record book to be provided and kept for such purpose.  Such  book  and
  the  records  contained  therein  shall be open to public inspection and
  shall be used by the local assessors in making assessments.
