                                  TITLE  39
                              HEALTH AND SAFETY
                                  CHAPTER 13
                       HOSPITAL LICENSES AND INSPECTION
    39-1347.  WARRANTS AND DRAFTS -- PAYMENT. The secretary shall countersign
all drafts and warrants on the district treasury, and no payment of district
funds shall be made except on draft or warrant countersigned by him. He shall
not countersign any such draft or warrant until he has found that payment has
been legally authorized; that the money therefor has been duly appropriated
and that such appropriation has not been exhausted.
    Such warrants shall be drawn by, and countersigned upon the order of the
president of the hospital board, or, in his absence, the other member of the
board; but no drafts or warrants shall be drawn, except upon the appropriation
of the board, nor in excess of the moneys actually in the district treasury;
except that warrants may be issued in anticipation of the collection of taxes,
but not in excess of seventy-five per cent (75%) of the amount of the levy
therefor, nor shall any warrants be issued nor indebtedness incurred in
anticipation of such levy.
    When a warrant is presented for payment, if there is money in the treasury
for the purpose, the treasurer must pay the same and write on the face
thereof, "paid", the date of payment and sign his name thereto.
