Every chattel mortgage, or a copy, should be filed in the office of the town 

 clerk of the township where mortgagor resides, except in cases where the 

 mortgagor resides out of the State, in which cases it should be filed in the 

 township where the property is situated. 



The filing must be renewed every year, by making and attaching to the 

 mortgage or copy on file an affidavit, in substance as follows : 



STATE OF MICHIGAN, > 

 COUNTY OF WAYNE. ) 



James Finn, of the township of Greenfield, in said county, being duly 

 sworn, deposes and says he is the mortgagee named in the annexed mortgage ; 

 that his interest, by virtue of said mortgage, in the goods and chattels in said 

 mortgage particularly described, is the sum of Three Hundred Dollars, and

 the year from the filing of the mortgage.

 gagee, who has no knowledge of the unrecorded mortgage.
