if there is money in the treasury for that purpose, and write on the face
of such orders the date of redemption and the signature of the county
treasurer. If there are no funds to pay an order when presented, the

the date of presentment, over the signature of the county treasurer,

provided, the county court of any county, sitting for the transaction of
county business, may, at any regular term thereof, by order duly made and
entered of record, prescribe a rate of interest less than the legal rate,
and after a rate of interest less than the legal rate is so prescribed,
all orders of the county clerk issued while such orders remain unrevoked
shall show upon their face the rate of interest so fixed by the court,
which rate they shall bear. Such interest shall cease from the date of

outstanding orders. County orders shall be
redeemed by the treasurer according to the priority of the time of
presentment. Such orders, payable out of the county revenue, shall be
received in payment of county taxes without any regard to priority of
presentment or number, but the treasurer shall not pay any balance
thereon over and above such tax when there are outstanding orders unpaid
for want of funds. When the county
treasurer redeems any order on which interest is due, the county
treasurer shall note on such order the amount of interest paid thereon,
and shall enter on the account the amount of such interest, distinct from
the principal. The treasurer

arrange and keep the books of the county treasurer that the amount
received and paid out, on account of separate and distinct funds, or
specific appropriations, shall be exhibited in separate accounts, as well
as the whole receipts and expenditures by one general account. The
county treasurer shall at all times keep the books and office of the
county treasurer subject to the inspection and examination of the county
court. The county treasurer shall exhibit the money in the office of the
county treasurer to such court at least once a year. The county treasurer of each
county shall, on or before the 10th day of each calendar month, file with

treasurer as county treasurer;

(2) The banks in which such funds are deposited, with the amounts
