Quarterly list of delinquents; verification of collector's cash accounts and cash on hand

In a municipality having less than an average of three million dollars ($3,000,000.00) in assessed valuations, as set forth in the annual debt statement last filed pursuant to chapter one, Title 40, of the Revised Statutes, the local governing body may designate the clerk to prepare quarterly lists of those persons whose taxes are delinquent according to the records of the collector, and to post copies of such lists in at least ten conspicuous places within the municipality. At the time of the preparation of each quarterly list of delinquents, the clerk shall verify the collector's cash accounts, count cash on hand, and determine whether the collector's duplicate is correctly posted and in balance, and shall certify the results of such check to the local governing body and to the collector's surety. In case any default, delinquency or official misconduct is discovered by the clerk as a result of the posting of quarterly lists pursuant to this section, he shall immediately report the same to the local governing body and to the collector's surety.
