All claims against the district shall be verified the same as is required in the case on 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 clerk 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 clerk. All warrants shall be drawn and payable to the claimant or bearer.
