§ 31-20-403. Warrant endorsed when no funds - new warrant.
When a city or town warrant is received by the treasurer or collector and there is no money in the treasury to pay the same, he is directed to endorse on it the amount for which it was received and the date thereof, and from that date the warrant is to be regarded as canceled and cannot be reissued; but when the warrant amounts to more than is to be paid by the person presenting it, the treasurer or collector shall give him a certificate of the balance due him, which certificate, on presentation to the board authorized to audit claims for the city or town, entitles the holder to receive a new warrant for the amount specified therein.
