Whenever any county legislative body of this state, on due examination as now required by law, shall ascertain that any of the books of record in the office of the register, county clerk, clerk and master, or circuit court clerk need to be rebound, in order to preserve and keep in proper condition for use such books, then the county legislative body of such a county may order and empower the chair of the court to take charge of such books of records, and execute a receipt for the same to the proper officer having custody of the books, and at once forward them to some good, competent, and reliable bookbinding firm or company in this state, and take a receipt from the firm or company for such books received by them, and require them to rebind the books and return them to such chair at as early a date as possible.
