said board, the treasurer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, all such moneys in
such depositories as shall be designated by such board.

joint custody receipt subject to the joint order of the depository and the treasurer of
said board and conditioned to secure and guarantee payment of all moneys on
deposit to the credit of said district, upon demand of the district through
presentation of a warrant or order.
