There have been no changes in the manner of doing the registration business, nor in the number of licensed public warehousemen at the two points mentioned during the year. The system of registration of elevator receipts for grain stored in public elevators forms an integral part of the grain inspection system iuaugurated in this state in 1885 and since continued to the satisfaction of all concerned. A registered receipt for grain stored in a public elevator has been considered almost as good as a government bond as collateral for a loan of money, and it is the aim of all connected with this department to maintain its efficiency. Yours truly, A. K. TEISBERG, Warehouse Registrar. |
