Sec. 37. Collection of fines.
All fines imposed for any violation of any city ordinance or
State law shall be collected by the chief of police; and if said chief
of police shall fail to collect, account for, and pay over all the
fines in his hands for collection, it shall be lawful for the council
to recover the same, so far as the same are accruing to the city,
by motion, in the corporate name of the city, before the corporation
court of said city, against the said chief of police, his sureties
on his said bond, or any or either of them, his or their executors
or administrators, on giving ten days' notice of the same.
