A copy of any receipt, application, plan, notice, order, entry in a register or other document in the possession of a Municipality shall, if duly certified by the legal keeper thereof or other person authorized by it in this behalf, be received as prima facie evidence of the existence of the entry or document and shall be admitted as evidence of the matters and transaction therein recorded in every case where, and to the same extent as, the original entry or document would, if produced, have admissible to prove such matters.
