He shall also render to the town board the detailed monthly statement required by section one hundred twenty-five of this chapter, and shall prepare and submit to the state department of audit and control the report required by section thirty of the general municipal law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the highway law, social services law, or this chapter, no money shall be paid out by the supervisor except upon the warrant of the town comptroller.
