  2. Title 19

The county treasurers shall be covered by the county blanket

bond and it shall run to the state, and action may be brought

thereon in the name of the state, for the use and benefit of the

person or persons injured by a violation thereof. In the event of

defalcation by the county treasurer no surety shall be required to

pay a greater portion of such loss than the ratio which its bond

bears to the total bond required for the treasurer. Such bond for

the county treasurer in each county as set by each board of county

commissioners shall be in the aggregate sum of not less than Fifty

Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00).

Any surety or sureties on the bond of such county treasurer may

at any time examine into, investigate and audit the books and

records of such county treasurer for the purpose of determining

whether said treasurer has performed the duties of his office

faithfully and according to law and may, when such surety or

sureties deem themselves insecure, upon thirty (30) days' written

notice given to the board of county commissioners, withdraw and

cancel their obligations as surety or sureties on such bond.
