The city treasurer shall receive all monies belonging to the city, and shall render at the end of each month, and oftener if required by the comptroller, a statement, under oath, to the comptroller, showing the state of the treasury at the date of such account and the balance of the money in the treasury. Such statement shall set forth all the monies received by him, and from whom, and on what account such monies shall have been received. It shall also show all monies paid out by him, and on what account the same shall have been paid.
The city treasurer shall cause books of account to be kept in such manner as to show with entire accuracy all monies received by him, and from whom, and on what account they shall have been received; and all monies paid out by him, and on what account they shall have been paid; and the same shall be shown in such manner that such books may be readily understood and investigated. Such books, and all papers and files of his office, shall at all times be open to the examination of the comptroller, the committee on finance, or any member of the city council.
There shall be no ineligibility of, nor disqualification or limitation upon, any person being elected to successive terms as city treasurer. Any prior law, statute or ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, no restriction on succession in the office of city treasurer shall be applicable.
