When the term of any county clerk in counties of seventy-five thousand
(75,000) population or over expires, or he dies or resigns, or is removed from
office, he or his personal representative, trustee, or committee, as the case
may be, shall at once deliver to his successor in office all accounts, claims, and
fees due him in his official capacity. The successor shall have the fees, claims,
and accounts collected, or the Department for Local Government may, in its
discretion, when said accounts, fees, and claims are so delivered to the
successor, appoint a person to collect them. If a collector is appointed, the
successor shall at once, or when demanded by the collector, deliver to him all
accounts, fees, and claims uncollected. The successor or collector, as the case
may be, shall, every sixty (60) days after receiving the accounts, fees, and
claims, report to the Department for Local Government, under oath, the amount
collected thereon, and at the same time pay to the Department for Local
Government the amount so collected, and shall continue to so report for three
(3) years, unless the accounts, fees, and claims are sooner collected.
The Department for Local Government shall, upon each payment, draw a
warrant on the State Treasurer in favor of the person collecting, for an amount
equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount so paid in, which shall be the full
compensation allowed for the collection.
If the amount paid to any clerk during his term or incumbency was not sufficient
to pay the salaries and office expenses of the clerk, the Department for Local
Government shall, out of the money collected and paid in as provided in
subsection (1) of this section, pay to the clerk, or to the person entitled to
receive the same, an amount sufficient to supply the deficit due for salaries and
expenses, not exceeding seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount of fees
accrued during his official term and which have been collected and paid to the
Department for Local Government.
