It shall be the duty of the recorder of deeds of every county, except counties of the second class, upon written request therefor as herein provided, to furnish the township commissioners of each township of the first class and township supervisors of each township of the second class within the county a record of all transfers of property located within the township. When any township imposes a tax on the transfer of real property, the commissioners or supervisors shall transmit to the recorder of deeds written request for such record of transfers. Such record shall show the name of the grantor and grantee, a description of the property as mentioned in the deed, the consideration recited in the deed and the value of the Federal documentary stamps affixed to the deed. Such record shall be sent to the township commissioners or township supervisors, as the case may be, on or before the second Monday of each month.

When a written request has been made for a record of transfers in a township, as herein provided, the recorder of deeds shall thereafter charge and collect, as a fee for the services hereinabove prescribed, the sum of twenty-five cents (25¢) for each deed recording the conveyance of land in such township.
