When a county collector goes out of office he shall make a full and complete settlement with the board of county commissioners, and deliver up in the presence of the county clerk all books, papers, money and all other property appertaining to the office, to his successor, taking his receipt therefor. The board of county commissioners shall make a statement, so far as state revenue is concerned, to the state auditor, showing all charges for whatsoever purposes which have been created against the collector during his term of office, and all credits that have been made, and other unfinished business charged over to his successor, and the amount of money paid over to his successor, showing to what year and to what accounts the amount so paid over belongs. They shall also see that the books of the collector are correctly balanced before passing into the possession of the collector-elect.
