Immediately upon the installation of the government of the consolidated municipality, the officers having custody of the funds of the participating municipalities shall deliver all funds in their possession into the custody of the proper fiscal officer of the consolidated municipality, who shall acknowledge delivery by giving his receipt therefor. The mayor or other chief executive officer of the consolidated municipality shall supervise and direct the transfer of all personal property, books, papers, vouchers, or other documents belonging to the participating municipalities, to the proper officers of the new government. He shall cause a complete inventory to be made of all assets, real and personal, received by the new government. The department shall cause an audit and settlement of officer's accounts to be made forthwith. The official bonds of the officers and officials shall continue in force and effect until the audit and settlement have been completed. Whenever a plan of consolidation provides that property within a participating municipality or school district therein, shall remain subject to separate taxation, after consolidation, for the payment of interest and principal on any preexisting indebtedness, such property shall be taxed and assessed therefor at the same time and in the same manner as provided by law for general taxation of real property for the support of the municipality or school district, as the case may be.
