§ 375. Compensation of registrars and deputy registrars, official
examiners of title, and registration clerks. Where county clerks and
registers are salaried officials, the local authorities (county
officials who provide for county expense, in the city of New York, the
mayor) shall fix their additional compensation as registrars, also the
compensation of deputy registrars, official examiners of title, the
clerks, et cetera, needed to carry on the work under this article. Where
a county clerk or a register is compensated directly by the fees paid to
himself, his deputies and assistants, the fees paid to him as registrar
shall take the usual course and be used to compensate deputies, official
examiners of title, clerks, et cetera, at such rates as the registrar
may fix, the remainder to belong to him.
