conditioned upon the faithful discharge of his duties. Except
for the bond of the treasurer of a community college district
in a city having a population of 500,000 or more inhabitants,

bonds, notes, mortgages, moneys and effects if the surety
given is by a surety company authorized to do business in
this State. In all community college districts, The penalty
of the bond of the treasurer shall be increased or decreased
from time to time, as the increase or decrease of the amount

of the bond should be increased or decreased. The bond must
be approved by at least a majority of the board of the
