  • The proceeds of said tax and the funds of said district shall be deposited in the name of the district in a bank authorized to receive deposits of county funds, which bank shall be designated by a resolution of the board of commissioners. Such designation of such bank and deposit of funds therein shall be by the exercise of due care and diligence on the part of said commissioners for the safekeeping of said funds. No funds of the district shall be paid out or disbursed save and except by check. The board of commissioners, as mentioned above, shall have the power and authority to borrow money for the purposes of the district not to exceed 50 percent of the total assessment roll and to pledge for the payment thereof collections on said roll and give tax anticipation notes, which shall be the sole security for such loan; and neither the said district nor the commissioner nor any of them shall be personally or individually liable as such for said loan or any part thereof, and in the event of such pledge, it shall be the duty of the commissioners, upon completion of the assessment roll so pledged, to apply the first proceeds thereof to the payment of said loan for which such tax was pledged until full payment of said loan.
