In any such action it shall be sufficient for the treasurer to allege in his complaint that the taxes stand charged upon his books against such company and the same are due and unpaid, and that a debt is thereby created, and that such company is indebted in the amount appearing to be due on the treasurer's books. The treasurer's books shall be received as prima facie evidence, on the trial of the action, of the amount and validity of such tax appearing due and unpaid thereon, and of the nonpayment of the same.
