Official statutory text
No claims shall be paid by the clerk of said district until the
same shall have been presented and allowed by the board of directors
and only upon warrants signed by the president and countersigned by
the clerk, and if the district treasurer has not sufficient money on
hand to pay such warrants when presented, he shall endorse thereon
"not paid for want of funds" and endorse thereon the date presented,
over his signature, and from the time of such presentation until
paid such warrant shall draw interest at the rate of six percent
(6%) per annum. All claims against the district shall be verified
the same as is required in the case on claims filed against the
counties in this state, and the clerk of the district is hereby
authorized and empowered to administer oaths to the parties
verifying such claims the same as a county clerk or a notary public
might do. The district clerk shall keep a register in which he
shall enter each warrant presented for payment, showing the date and
amount of such warrant, to whom payable, the date of the
presentation for payment, the date of payment, and the amount paid
in redemption thereof, and all warrants shall be paid in the order
of their presentation for payment to the district clerk. All
warrants shall be drawn and payable to the claimant or bearer.
