All such registers shall be preserved for one (1) year after the last entry is made therein, and in case the register is in the form of a looseleaf book, all of such sheets shall be preserved for one (1) year after the last entry on such sheets. All of the pages of said register or the looseleaf sheets, as the case may be, shall be dated and consecutively numbered.
