The collector shall enter the date and amount of each payment on his duplicate in the proper column opposite the items of tax on account of which the payment is made, and shall make a similar entry in a proper cash book credited to the taxpayer, and shall also enter therein a designation of the property on which the tax was paid, the total amount of the tax and the discount allowed or the interest and penalty charged. The cash book shall be provided by the collector at the expense of the taxing district, shall be the property of the taxing district and be open at all reasonable times to public inspection.
In lieu of recording payments on the duplicate in the manner herein provided, any taxing district may elect to use a payment record card wherein substantially similar information as herein required may be mechanically recorded. Such payment record card shall be the property of the taxing district and be open at all reasonable times to public inspection.
