§ 1576. Town treasurer; record of orders
The treasurer shall pay orders drawn on him by officials authorized by law to draw such orders. If he does not pay such orders, on demand, the holder thereof may recover the amount from the town, with interest from the time of such demand. The treasurer shall keep a record of such orders not paid on demand in a book kept for that purpose. In the event, however, where there are insufficient funds on hand for the payment of any such order, the treasurer shall forthwith notify the selectmen and the officer drawing the same.
