(c) (7) No distance on the plat may be marked, "more or
[less,"] LESS", except on lines which begin, terminate, or bind
on a marsh, stream, or any body of water.

(8) The plat shall show the position by coordinates
of not less than four markers set in convenient places within the
subdivision in a manner so that the position of one marker is
visible from the position of one other marker. From these
markers, commonly called "traverse [points,"] POINTS", every
corner and line can be readily calculated and marked on the
ground. These markers shall be made of hard durable stone or
concrete and shall be planted at least three feet into the
ground.

(a) If the person offering a deed or other instrument
affecting property for record first pays the recording fees, the
clerk of the circuit court of each county shall record every deed
and other instrument affecting property in well-bound books to be
named "Land [Records,"] RECORDS", if that is the practice in the
county, or on microfilm, if that is the practice. The clerk shall
endorse on the deed or other instrument the time he receives the
document for recording and the endorsement shall show in the Land
Records. Any deed or other instrument affecting property which
also affects personal property shall be recorded in the same
manner in the land records only, and not in the "Financing
[Records."] RECORDS".
