This is a screenshot of a record of my 2nd great-grandfather, Berko Olvovskiy in the Yelizavetgrad notary. I think it says something along the lines of Berko putting down some money for a property. My Russian is very elementary, so I'm not exactly sure of the details. It'd be great if someone could translate this for me so I could find the property my great-grandmother lived in with her family before they immigrated.

Сбора внесено : 1 рубль по 1 сп. сб. статьи № 3290.
============
...his—Olvovsky’s—signature on the receipt acknowledging the deposit of 100 rubles received from Zlopolsky town-dweller Zus Iosifovich Teplitsky for the sale of real estate located in the city of Elizavetgrad (1st District, at the corner of Aleksandriyskaya Street and Samannaya Square) for the price of one thousand two hundred rubles (1,200 rubles); the deed of sale *) is to be executed before me, the notary, within three months of this date, with expenses to be borne by the purchaser. Fees paid: 1 ruble under Article No. 3290.
*) A *kupchaya* (deed of sale) is a document confirming that someone has purchased or acquired ownership of an item—most commonly real estate or other property. Simply put: if you buy something and the law permits it, this document records the transaction and establishes your right of ownership. In the past (for instance, in pre-revolutionary Russia), such documents were invariably executed before a notary. Today, the term *kupchaya* is used less frequently—people more often speak of a "purchase and sale agreement"—but the meaning remains the same: it is an instrument effecting the transfer of ownership from one person to another.
