mortgage, deed of trust, and instruments supplementary thereto or

amendatory thereof, or satisfaction thereof, covering any real or

personal property situated in this state made to secure any

indebtedness incurred under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936,

as amended (U.S. Code, Title 7, Chapter 31), shall be executed and

acknowledged in the same manner as are conveyances of real estate

and shall be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State, who

shall endorse thereon his certificate specifying the day and hour of

the instrument's receipt and filing, which shall be evidence of such

facts. Any description of personal or real property in such

mortgage shall be sufficient whether or not it is specific if it

reasonably identifies what is described and interests in real

property created by an instrument previously recorded in the office

of a county clerk of this state may be incorporated therein by

reference. Except as hereinafter provided filing of such instrument

in the Office of the Secretary of State shall be notice to all

subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers of the rights and interests

of the parties thereto as to property described in the filed

instrument and property acquired subsequent to the execution thereof

if the instrument so provides and except as hereinafter provided no

other filing of any such instrument shall be necessary,

notwithstanding the provisions of any other statute. Provided that

in order to impart notice as to real property, instruments issued by

a rural water, gas or sewer district, a nonprofit rural water, gas

or sewer company or a public trust created for water, sewer or gas

purposes where a municipality or county is the beneficiary, must be

filed in the office of the county clerk of the county wherein the

real property is located, as well as in the Office of the Secretary

of State. Any such mortgage, deed of trust, and instruments

supplementary thereto or amendatory thereof, heretofore recorded or

filed in the office of county clerk of any county in this state may

be refiled in the Office of the Secretary of State in the manner

above provided and such refiling shall thereafter as to any property

not previously released from such mortgage or deed of trust be of

the same effect as if the instrument had been originally filed in

said Office of the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State shall charge and collect a fee of Twenty-

five Dollars ($25.00) for each mortgage, deed of trust, or

instrument amendatory or supplementary thereto, that is filed, or

refiled, and for every instrument of satisfaction for said mortgage,

deed of trust, or instrument amendatory or supplementary thereto,

that is filed, in the Office of the Secretary of State pursuant to

the provisions of this section. This fee shall include other fees

payable to the Secretary of State as provided for by law for such

filings.
