      collector or the deputy collector in each borough  office  of  the  city
      collector  shall  enter  upon  accounts,  to  be maintained in each such
      office for each parcel of property, the payment of  taxes,  assessments,
      sewer  rents  or  water rents thereon, the amount therefor, and the date
      when paid. The city collector shall daily enter into suitable  books  to
      be  kept  for  the  purpose  of  such  accounts,  such  payments and the
      respective parcels on account of which the same were paid.
        b. At close of office hours each day, the city collector shall  render
      to  the commissioner of finance or the deputy commissioner of finance in
      such borough, a statement of the sums so received, and at the same  time
      pay  over  to  such  commissioner  of  finance or deputy commissioner of
      finance, the amount received on  such  day.  The  city  collector  shall
      thereupon   receive   from   such  commissioner  of  finance  or  deputy
      commissioner of finance a voucher for the payment of such sums which  he
      or  she  shall  exhibit  to  the  comptroller  not  later  than the next
      succeeding business day.
        c. At the close of office hours each day,  the  city  collector  shall
      also  furnish  a statement to the comptroller who shall file the same in
      his or her office. Such statement shall indicate in detail such sums  so
      received  and  the  respective parcels on account of which the same were
      paid. The comptroller shall, on each day,  immediately  after  receiving
      such statement, compare it with a voucher furnished to him or her by the
      commissioner of finance indicating the sums which have been paid on such
      day  to the commissioner of finance and if the aggregate amounts thereof
      shall correspond, shall credit the city collector in his  or  her  books
      with such amount.
