7-3-18. Contract for transcription of records for new county--Certification of instruments transcribed.
The board of county commissioners may contract the transcribing of records or any part thereof to the lowest and best bidder. The person transcribing the records of any particular office shall attach the transcriber's certificate without extra cost to each instrument or matter transcribed to the effect that the transcript is a full, true, and complete copy of the original instrument as it appears of record in the original county, showing book and page thereof. However, for any record transcribed from the office of the county treasurer or county auditor it is only necessary to make one certificate at the close of each book transcribed.
