  • . The City Clerk shall be eligible to
    hold the office of City Treasurer. It shall be the duty of said Treasurer, upon the
    receipt of any rate bill as hereinafter provided for, to post notices in at least
    three public places in said City, and to publish the same for one week in a newspaper
    published in said City, calling upon the taxpayers to pay their respective taxes within
    90 days from the date of said notice. There shall be deducted from the taxes paid
    during the 90 days specified, four per cent of the amount thereof. At the expiration
    of said 90 days the said Treasurer shall issue his or her warrant against the delinquent
    taxpayers to the amount of their taxes, returnable in 60 days from the date thereof,
    and deliver the same to the Collector of Taxes of said City, but if the City Council
    direct, the issuing of said warrant shall be delayed 60 days from the expiration of
    said 90 day period. There shall be allowed said Treasurer the sum of five cents for
    each name on the warrant issued by him or her, which shall be taxed against the delinquent
    taxpayer. Upon the return of any warrant so issued by the City Treasurer, if any taxes
    included in such warrant remain uncollected, the City Treasurer may reissue such warrant
    to the Collector for the collection of such unpaid taxes, returnable in 60 days from
    the date of such reissue. In reissuing said warrant, it shall only be necessary for
    the City Treasurer to write upon the same “Reissued to the Collector, returnable in
    60 days from this date,” dating and signing the same, and the reissue of such warrant
    shall in no manner affect any act or proceeding of the Collector made on such warrant
    previous to its reissue. It shall be the duty of the City Treasurer to collect all
    water rates that may be or shall hereafter become due to said City for the use of
    the City water under such regulations and ordinances as shall be prescribed by the
    City Council, but no compensation shall be allowed said Treasurer for the performance
    of this duty. The City Treasurer shall keep a separate account of all monies appropriated
    for the use of schools, which monies shall consist of the income of all school funds
    of whatsoever nature, the income of any money or other property donated by any person
    to said City for the use of schools, and all money appropriated by the City Council
    for that purpose. The City Treasurer shall pay out of any monies mentioned in this
    paragraph, all warrants drawn by the school trustees for the use of schools.
