§ 19-901.21. Claims against district

No claims shall be paid by the treasurer of said district until

the same shall have been presented and allowed by the board of

directors and only 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 eleven percent (11%) per annum. All claims against the

district shall be verified the same as is required in the case of

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 19. Counties and County Officers

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 treasurer 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

treasurer. All warrants shall be drawn and payable to the claimant

or his assignee only.
