Township organization; cessation; town records, transfer of; indebtedness, unexpended balances; how discharged.

When township organization shall be discontinued in any county, it shall be the duty of the town clerk in each town in said county, as soon as the board of county commissioners are appointed and qualified, to deposit with the county clerk of the county all town records, papers, and documents pertaining to the affairs of such town, and to certify to him the amount of indebtedness of such town outstanding at the time of such discontinuance. The board shall have full and complete power to settle all the unfinished business of the town as fully as might have been done by the town itself, and dispose of any and all property belonging to such town, the proceeds of which, after paying all indebtedness, shall be disposed of by the county board for the benefit of the taxable inhabitants thereof by such board crediting all unexpended balances of said town to the district road fund, and in no other manner. It shall be the duty of such county board, at such time as shall be provided by law, to levy a tax upon the taxable property of such town to pay any unliquidated indebtedness it may have outstanding.
