<p>'1. School fund—of its distribution among townships—-forfeiture. Trustees of school townships, who fail to make the biennial report required by the 36th section of the law of 1857, will, under the operation of the 13th section of the law of 1865, cause their township to forfeit its portion of the public fund for the next ensuing year.</p> <p>2. Township treasurer—must give bond. Under the act of 1865, amendatory of the school law, no portion of the school fund shall be paid to the township treasurer until he files his bond; and a school commissioner may properly refuse to pay money to such treasurer, where that is omitted to be done.</p>
