B. Whenever the city treasurer shall pay a portion of any warrant, as above provided, the city treasurer shall endorse upon such warrant the date and amount of such payment, and take a receipt from the holder thereof showing the number and description of such warrant, and the date, and amount so paid, which receipt the city treasurer shall return with the city treasurer’s report to the city clerk as a voucher for the money so paid.
