LAND REGISTRY
OFFICES ARE
NOW EFFICNENT

Great Change, Made by Oliver
Government in Amount of
Work per Man.

VICTORIA, Dec, 47. During
the whole of the year 1916, 22.712
applications for the registration
of deeds in the Land Registry Of-
fices of the province were dis-
posed of. The combined staffs
required to deal with that amount
numbered 1641 employees, Eleven
expression—per man
was the average.

During the ten months of the
present year ending on October
31 last 24,032 applications were
disposed of. It took a combined
staff of 89 to deal with them and
the average per man per month
works out at twenty-seven.

In the first ten months of the
present year there is already an
increase over the whole of the
year 1916 of 1,320 applications
disposed of. The staff employed
on the whole of the business was
seventy-two fewer in number than
in 1916, Each of these employees
disposed of sixteen more appli-
cations per month than was the
case in 1916.

Relies Upon Figures.

The foregoing comparisons are
included in a statement just
issued by the Hon. J. W. deB.
Farris, attorney-general and min-
aster of labor, dealing with ad-
ministrative costs involved in the
maintenance of land registry of-
fices throughout the province.
The attorney-general treats the
subject in an exceedingly brief
fashion and relies upon his ofli-
cial figures to display the benefits
which have attended the general
running and reorganization of
this branch of his department.

Conditions as they obtained
during the last year of the for-
mer government's term of office
are set against the results ob-
tained during the first ten months
of this year's business, and, as
will have been observed, the state-
ment is especially concerned with
the number of applications for
registration of deeds and other
legal documents. The table also
embraces the size of staff em-
ployed in each office during the
period covered by the comparison
and the monthly number of ap-
plications disposed of by each
member of the respective staffs.

Individual Offices.

Taking the six land registry
offices and their business one by
one, the attorney-general’s tabu-
lated statement discloses the
comparison as follows:

Victoria—Applications in 1916,
4,513; for ten months of 1919,
5,318; staff in 1916, 47; in 1919,
21; average per man per month
in 1916, 14; in 1949, 27.

Vancouver — Applications in
1916, 7,698; for ten months in
1919, 8,619; staff in 1916, 40; in

per month

1919, 30; average per man per
month in 1916, 16; in 1919, 24.
Kamloops — Applications in

1916, 3,220; for ten months of
1919, 3,071; staff in 1916, 25; in
i919, 10; average per man per,
month in 1946, 10; in 1919, 29.
New Westminster — Applica-
tions in 1916, 4,476; for ten
months of 1919, 4,651; staff in
1916, 33; in 1919, 15; average per

1919, 28.

Nelson—<Applications in 1916,
1,865; for ten months of 1919,
1,535; staff in 1916, 12; im 1949,
8; average per man per month in
1916, 12; in 1919, 22.

Prince Rupert—Applications in
1916, 940; for ten months of 1919,
874; staff in 1916, 4; in 1919, 2;
average per man per month in
1916, 19; in 1919, 37.

Three Offices.

From the foregoing detailed
performance of three individual
offices—Victoria, Vancouver and
New Westminster—it will be ob-
served that the number of appli-
cations disposed of for, the first
ten months of the present year
exceeds the whole of the year
1916, while the three offices
named employed sixty-seven few-
er of a staff to deal with an ex-
cess of 1,901 applications in the
shorter period.

The attorney-general also in-
cludes in his statement the fol-
lowing statistics of revenue to-
gether with salaries compiled to
set the percentage of cost of the
turnover, During the fiseal year
of 1915-16 the total revenue for
the land registry offices above
named reached $443,000, with

 

salaries absorbing $217,000, or &

deeds—or titles to use the correct

man per month in 1916, 14; in

 

 

percentage of cost for revenue
earned of 49 per cent.

| In 1916-17—the last year of
ofice of the late administration—
the revenue reached no more than
$197,000, with salaries amount-
ing to $157,000, or a percentage
rising to 79 per cent. In 1918-19
revenue reached only $189,245,
but salaries dropped to $117,594,
or a percentage of 63.

For seven months of the pres-
ent fiscal year — 1919-20 — the
revenue already has _ reached
$181,483 and salaries, under the
reorganization, have dropped to
$74,688 for the period, or a per-
centage of cost not more than 41.
In the month of October, as an
example of the growing improve-
ment in administrative cost and
consequent efficient service, the
revenue reached $41,116 at a
salary cost of $11,793, which
equals 28 per cent.
