The board of county commissioners at their annual January session of each year, or oftener if they deem it necessary, shall carefully examine the county orders returned by the county treasurer, by comparing each order with the record of orders in the clerk's office. They shall cause to be entered on said record opposite to the entry of each order issued the date [upon] which the same was canceled. They shall also make a list of such orders so canceled, specifying the number, date, amount and the person to whom the same is payable, and enter the same on the journal of the board.
