§ 20-5. Same—Receipt.

When a cash bail is tendered and accepted, the officer accepting the same shall issue a special cash bail receipt therefor to the person tendering such cash bail, a copy of which to remain in the cash bail receipt book. When a cash bail is returned to the person who deposited it, a receipt shall be taken therefor. The same procedure shall apply where the person who deposited the money is present and orders such cash bail to be applied on the payment of any fine and costs assessed against him. When such person fails to make his appearance and the officer pleads guilty for him, such officer shall apply so much of the cash bail as may be necessary for the satisfaction of such fine and costs, and the balance shall be returned to the defendant. In the event such cash bail is forfeited, then the entire sum shall be paid to the proper officer of the city.
