        A memorial of every paper filed with the registrar affecting title  to
      registered  property  shall  be  entered  at once upon the last original
      certificate to which it relates. Every paper filed  with  the  registrar
      affecting  title  to  property  shall  be  indexed  from its contents as
      follows: In an index showing in alphabetical order in one column or in a
      set of columns the names, places of residence with  street  numbers,  if
      any,  and  post  office  addresses  of  all  persons  in whose interests
      petitions for registration of title are  filed;  the  names,  places  of
      residence  with street numbers, if any, and post office addresses of all
      persons to whom any interest, right or power in real property is granted
      or released; and the names, places of residence with street numbers,  if
      any,  and  post  office addresses of all persons claiming an interest in
      real property; also, in separate columns the kinds of papers filed,  the
      numbers  of the filed papers, the dates of filing, the filing numbers of
      petition to which they relate (if petition is pending) and  the  numbers
      of  the  last original certificate to which they relate (if the title to
      the property is registered). Whenever a judgment or an  order  of  court
      directs  that  the  title  to real property be registered, it shall also
      direct the registrar to transfer all proper liens and incumbrances filed
    
      against the property pending registration to the certificate of title so
      to be issued. In those counties which have block indexes, an index shall
      be kept by blocks of all registered property described by  lot,  diagram
      or  other  appropriate  designation,  and  the  owners  thereof  with  a
      reference to  the  certificate  numbers  in  which  the  properties  are
      registered; if any system of indexing by lot numbers is in use the index
      lot numbers shall be shown. There shall also be kept in those counties a
      block index of conveyances and a block index of mortgages for registered
      lands  in substantially the same form with necessary changes as provided
      in the respective block index laws of those counties. In counties  which
      have  no  block  indexes  the  registrar shall also keep an index of all
      properties registered under  this  article,  in  which  such  registered
      properties shall be indexed according to a brief description thereof.
