INDEX TO THE RECORD AND GDIDE. [*■' Vol. XLVI. .lUL^-----DECEMBER, INCLUSIVE. 1890. The following semi-annual Index of the Con¬ veyances and Projected Buildings in New York City, as published in The Record and Guide during the last half of 1S90, will he found of great value to those of our subscribers who have pre¬ served all the issues of this paf^er during that poriod. Our usual care has been taken to keep the Index up to the .same perfect standard which has characterized it in the past. The pages are given on which all the transfers of realty pub¬ lished in Volume XLVI. can be found, and the streets and avenues are .so subdivided that few references are required. For instance, transfers of property on the Bowery appear in eleven issues during the six months ; Bowery in the In¬ dex is sub-divided into five parts, so that the least possible trouble need be incurred, provided it is known between what stieets the property is located. In this volume we have continued to arranee the transfers in such a manner that every street affected can be seen at a glance by turning to the pages which the Index calls for. Take for instance page 10 and llnd thereon: AV A, Nos. 195 and r.»T j begins Av A, u w cor 13th st, Nos. 441 and443 \ iJtli st, 51.9x10(1. The above applies when a piece of property is on the corner of any street or avenue aud runs in depth ui)on both streets more than ItO feet, or when a plot has buildings fronting on both streets, and also » hen the property begins on one street and runs to another. Although many of our subscribars have used the Index for years, some of them do not fully understand the com¬ pleteness of the work. Wa are frequently told of errors that our readers think they have dis¬ covered, which, upon investigation, prove to be errors of the searcher—not of the Index. For instance, in the current number appears the fol¬ lowing: Madison av. from 85th to 90th st, 85,435, 62:!, 84<>, the latter being the pages on which transfei-s on said street may be found. Now, turning to page 4;i5, the average searcher would fail to find the item referred to, because it does not appear in the alphabetical order of streets. A close search shows the item under the head 88th st, n e cor Madison av, where aplot, :i(>.8x100.11, is conveyed. The Index is, therefore, in some cases condemneri for a supjjosed omission which is really the strongest evidence of the thoroughness with which it has been compihd. Where such an omission should occasionally seem apparent to the subscriber, he should search the whole page, and he will then tind the item which is referred to. The Projected Buildings are indexed in a similar manner, so that it can reaflily be ascer¬ tained on what streets improvements have been made. Those wi.ebing to keep a file for perman¬ ent refeience should see that all the numbers are complete and have them bound. A suitable binder can be obtained at the office of The Record and Guide, 191 Broadway, corner Dey street: price, one dollar. Below will be found a table showing the bound¬ ary lines of each of the thirteen Sections, and under which all property is now indexed in in the Register's office by locality on new map of New York City, according to new law, which went into effect Jan. 1, 1891 : Sec.

This explanation is made so that subscribers searchiiij; for trausfers in fee can at once distinguish between the former and the latter without lefeiTing to the i>age men¬ tioned.
