(605 ILCS 5/6-114) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-114)
Sec. 6-114.
In each road district comprised of a single township, the
supervisor of such township shall be ex-officio treasurer for the road
district. In each consolidated township road district the treasurer shall
be selected by the highway board of auditors of such district from its
membership. In each other road district the district clerk shall be
ex-officio treasurer for the road district, except as is provided in this
Code for county unit road districts and for municipalities that are created
a road district.
Each such treasurer before becoming entitled to act as treasurer and
within 10 days after his election or selection, shall execute a bond in
double the amount of moneys likely to come into his hands by virtue of such
office, if individuals act as sureties on such bond, or in the amount only
of such moneys if a surety company authorized to do business in this State
acts as surety on such bond, conditioned that he will faithfully discharge
his duties as such treasurer, that he will honestly and faithfully account
for and pay over, upon the proper orders, all moneys coming into his hands
as treasurer, and the balance, if any, to his successor in office. Such
bond shall be payable to the district, and shall be in such sum as the
highway commissioner shall determine. Such bond shall be approved by the
highway commissioner and shall be filed in the office of the county clerk
with such approval endorsed thereon. The highway commissioner shall have
the power to require the giving of additional bond, to increase or decrease
the amount of such bond, or require the giving of a new bond whenever in
his opinion such action is desirable. The highway commissioner shall have
power to bring suit upon such bond for any loss or damage accruing to the
district by reason of any non-performance of duty, or defalcation on the
part of the treasurer.
