ANNOTATION
Power to issue warrant in board alone. While a county warrant is to be signed by the chairman of the board of county commissioners, and also to be signed and attested by the clerk, yet the power to issue a county warrant is vested alone in the board of county commissioners and can be only exercised at a meeting of the board. Stoddard v. Benton, 6 Colo. 508 (1883).
And a warrant drawn and signed without any action of the board is a nullity in the hands of any one chargeable with notice of the irregularity, and in an action against the county treasurer to compel payment, he may allege in his defense the facts which show the warrant to be void. Stoddard v. Benton, 6 Colo. 508 (1883).
