        Commonwealth, in which certain taxes are by law directed to
        be filed as liens against real estate in the offices of such
        prothonotaries, to enter such liens as may appear to be

        aforesaid shall be separately set out for each ward, borough
        and township, and making such docket entries notice and
        evidence when completed, and further authorizing such
        prothonotaries hereafter to enter such tax liens

        persons, firms and corporations against whom the same may be
        levied or assessed, and making such entry notice to all
        persons, and providing that such liens when so entered shall

        Section 1.  Prothonotaries to make up convenient dockets of
     unsatisfied tax liens
        The prothonotaries of the several counties of this
     Commonwealth, in which county, poor, road, school, building,
     borough and township taxes are directed by law to be filed as
     liens against the real estate against which said taxes have been
     assessed and levied, may make up or cause to be made up, from
     the record of such tax liens as appear to be unsatisfied,
     convenient dockets of all such unsatisfied liens, in which the
     several liens affecting each ward, borough or township shall be
     separately set out, under the name of the proper municipality,
     and against the name of the person against whom the same is
     entered at the time of the passage of this act. And upon the
     completion of the entry of such unsatisfied tax liens upon such
     dockets, the same shall thereafter be evidence and notice of
     such unsatisfied liens, and the original dockets containing such
     unsatisfied liens shall not thereafter be notice or evidence of
     such unsatisfied liens.  1899, April 28, P.L. 120, Sec. 1.

     the several counties aforesaid shall enter all such unpaid
     county, poor, road, school, school-building, borough and
     township taxes as may be certified to and filed with them, in
     separate dockets, and such liens shall be entered in
     alphabetical order against the several persons, firms, or
     corporations against whom the same may be levied or assessed;
     and when so entered the same shall be notice to all persons, and
     such liens shall not be hereafter entered upon the general
     judgment index of such counties.  1899, April 28, P.L. 120, Sec.
