They shall also appoint a treasurer, who shall not be a trustee, who shall give bond in such amount as the board may determine and with such sureties as they may deem sufficient, for the faithful discharge of his duties as such treasurer; and he and his sureties shall be responsible for all funds which may come into his hands by virtue of his office.
