Section 4802 - Books of account to be kept; fees to be paid to county treasurer monthly
(a) Each of said officers shall keep a special account book, the form of which shall be prescribed by the controller, in which entry shall be made of all the moneys received for fees and of all moneys earned and chargeable upon the county, specifying the day and date, the title of the case, if any, for what service, and from whom received.
(b) On the first Monday of each month, each of said officers shall pay to the treasurer of the county all fees so received during the preceding month. Duplicate receipts therefor shall be taken, one of which he shall deposit with the county controller, together with a transcript, in detail, of his fee account book or books for the preceding month. He shall make oath or affirmation before the county controller that the transcript contains a true and correct list of all the fees received, earned or chargeable upon the county for services rendered in his office, either by himself, deputies or clerks, during the preceding month that said fees were severally charged and collected at regular rates, and that he has not received and is not to receive from any person or persons whatsoever, for any official services or duty, any other fees than those so entered on said transcript.
(c) It shall be the duty of the county controller to receive such returns and thereafter to audit and verify the same and to do such other matters and things as may be required in the premises, to file said receipt and transcript in the office, and to charge the county treasurer with the money for fees so paid in.
(d) Where fees are paid to one office which are for services rendered or to be rendered by another, the officer receiving the same shall specify the same on his account book and on his transcript as of the office to which they properly belong.
