The county treasurer of each county comprising a portion only of the irrigation district, excepting the county treasurer of the county in which the office of said district is located, on the first Monday of every month, shall remit to the district treasurer all moneys, warrants, coupons, or bonds theretofore collected or received by him on account of said district. Every county treasurer shall keep a bond fund account and a general fund account. The bond fund account shall consist of all moneys received on account of interest and principal of bonds issued by said district. Said accounts for interest and principal shall be kept separate. The general fund shall consist of all moneys or general fund warrants received by the collection of taxes or otherwise. The district treasurer shall pay out of said bond fund, when due, the interest and principal of the bonds of said district at the time and place specified in said bonds and shall pay out of said general fund only upon the order of the district, signed by the president and countersigned by the secretary of said district. The district treasurer, on the fifteenth day of each month, shall report to the secretary of the district the amount of money in his hands to the credit of said respective funds, the amount of warrants paid during the previous month, and the amount of registered warrants, if any.
