Whenever the treasurer receives any money, warrant or order on account of licenses, fines or other account, except taxes charged on the tax roll, he shall make out the proper duplicate receipts for the same, and shall give one of said receipts to the person paying said money and the other to the county clerk within one (1) day thereafter in order that the treasurer may be charged with the amount thereof. The treasurer shall then enter the same in his cash book as in case of money received for taxes, but in a separate and distinct series of numbers of receipts issued therefor; and no person shall receive such license or be discharged from obligation, by reason of such fine on account, until he shall have so delivered such duplicate receipt to the county clerk, and the treasurer shall so inform the person making the payment at the time of payment.
