(1) The commander or executive head of any veterans organization organized under a charter issued by an Act of Congress, proposing to undertake the relief provided for under ORS 408.720, shall file with the county clerk of the county in which the veterans organization may be situated, the names of its commander or executive head and its relief committee, if any. The commander or executive head shall also file a notice in writing that such veterans organization will undertake the relief of the indigent veterans provided for under ORS 408.720, and by the fourth Monday in January of each year shall file with the county clerk a similar notice, and render and file a detailed statement of the relief furnished during the preceding year, including the amount thereof, the names of the persons to whom furnished and on whose recommendation, and such other facts and suggestions as are deemed material.
(2) The commander or executive head shall also file a bond, with one or more sureties, to be approved by the county court or judge thereof, or board of county commissioners, in a sum not less than $100 and not more than $1,000. The amount of the bond shall be fixed by the court, judge or board. It shall run to the county, and be conditioned by stating that if said commander or executive head faithfully applies all funds that come into the hands of the commander or executive head for that purpose, to the relief of the indigent veterans provided for under ORS 408.720, it is void. If the bond is enforced there shall be recovered from the principal and sureties thereon the amount which is found to be misappropriated, which shall be paid into the county treasury.
(3) If the county operates on a fiscal year ending on June 30, the notice, statement and bond required by this section may be filed on the fourth Monday in July of each year rather than on the fourth Monday of January. If the statement required by subsection (1) of this section is filed at the time provided in this subsection, this statement shall cover the preceding fiscal year.
(4) On the approval and filing of the bond, and on the recommendation of the relief committee of any such veterans organization, orders shall be drawn in favor of the commander or executive head in the same manner as orders are now drawn for the relief of the poor. The orders shall designate thereon the names of the persons for whom the relief is intended and, in like manner, a sum not exceeding $100 may be drawn to pay the funeral expenses of an indigent veteran, and the indigent spouses and surviving spouses in marriages and minor children of such veterans.
