It shall be the duty of the recorder of deeds in the several counties in this Commonwealth to receive all deeds presented for record, when the same are duly acknowledged as required by law, and record the same. And if by virtue of any provision of law any such deed so presented for record is required to be registered in any office for the registration of deeds, other than said recorder's office, within the county in which it is so offered for record, the recorder of deeds shall nevertheless record such deed whether it has been so registered or not, and in such case it shall be the duty of the recorder within ten days after the deed is transcribed into the deed book to have such deed registered in such other registry office or offices before delivering the deed to the party entitled to receive the same. On all deeds which the recorder is required to have registered under the provisions of this act he shall be entitled to collect a fee of twenty-five cents (25¢) for the first description in such deed and an additional sum of ten cents (10¢) for each additional description, in addition to the recording fee.
