7-3-18. Contract for transcription of records for new county--Certification of instruments transcribed. The board of county commissioners may in its discretion let the work of transcribing such records or any part thereof by contract to the lowest and best bidder, but in all events the person transcribing the records of any particular office shall be required to attach his certificate without extra cost to each and every instrument or matter transcribed by him to the effect that such 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; provided that on matters transcribed from the office of the county treasurer or county auditor it shall only be necessary to make one such certificate at the close of each book transcribed.
