1. The county collector shall, whenever he makes a statement of tax collections to the county commission as required by law, also furnish the treasurers of the cities and incorporated towns a statement of all delinquent and back taxes due such cities and towns which have been collected to that date, accompanied by the amount thus collected.
2. The county collector, except in those counties having a population in excess of one hundred thousand, shall be allowed the same commissions for collecting city or incorporated town taxes as are allowed him for collecting state and county taxes, but no other commission shall be allowed any officer of any such city or town for receiving or disbursing said money unless authorized by charter or ordinance; and for any default in paying over such taxes to the city or town treasurer, such county collector and his sureties shall be proceeded against on such county collector's official bond. A certified copy of said bond, from the records of the county clerk's office, shall be taken as evidence and be of the same effect in all courts of this state as the original bond required by this chapter to be filed in the office of the secretary of state.
