Error in e-recording story

In the Aug. 7 issue of the Register Citizen, in a story titled “E-recordings to save time, money for city clerk’s office” it was incorrectly reported that the city clerk’s office was switching to an electronic recording service for land documents. The service, Simplifile, is meant to be an added feature, not replace the entire recording process, as recording will still be made via mail and in-person.

The online version has also been corrected.
