§ 21-39-7. Docket of claims in municipalities having a population of more than two thousand.
In all municipalities having a population of more than two thousand (2,000), according to the latest federal census, and in other municipalities where the governing authorities should so elect, it shall be the duty of the clerk of the municipality to keep as a record in his office a record to be styled "Docket of Claims," in which he shall enter all demands, claims and accounts against the municipality presented to him during the month. Said docket shall provide space for the name of the claimant, the number of the claim, the amount of the claim, and on what account. All demands, claims and accounts allowed against the municipality shall be preserved by the clerk as a permanent record, and shall be numbered in such a manner as to relate to the warrants to be issued therefor, and the said warrant issued in payment of such claim shall carry on its face a reference to the number of the claim for which the said warrant is issued in payment. No order for the payment or expenditures of any funds of such municipality in payment of any indebtedness thereof shall be made in municipalities having a claim docket unless such claim is filed as herein provided. However, this provision shall not be applicable to the salaries or other compensation of officers or employees of such municipality where the amount of such salary or other compensation shall have been previously fixed by the governing authorities of the municipality in its approval of the payroll or payrolls on which the same appears, and in case of such allowance, it will be sufficient to enter on the claims docket the total of such payroll, followed by reference to the said payroll upon which such allowance may be found.
