such claims, and the said Auditor shall issue his warrant upon the State Treasurer for such
amount, subject to the limitation imposed by this section, and the treasurer eshall pay the
same to the said commission out of the road fund or funds provided for that purpose. The
commission shall immediately deposit such funds to its credit in some brank, or banks,
designated pursuant to article one, chapter twelve of this code, as a state depository or
depositories. Such requisition upon the Auditor shall be accompanied with a statement duly
verified by a member of the commission, showing the amount of money in the hands of the
commission to the credit of the fund at the time the requisititon is presented to the Auditor.
The amount of such funds in the hands of the commission shall not exceed at any one time
the sum of $5,000. When the commission makes such requisition it shall at the same time file
with the State Auditor an itemized statement, showing what items and amounts have been
paid by it out of such fund and for what purpose, and such statement shall be accompanied
with a voucher for each item, duly signed by the party receiving payment, and showing the
purpose for which made. The amounts so reported as paid by the commission, under its
direction or authority, out of such fund, if found to be correct, shall be reported by the
Auditor to the treasurer and credited by him to the commission on account of the advances
made to it pursuant to this section.
