§ 69-5-133. Expense Fund May Be Required, or Judgment Rendered on Bond

If the county legislative body does not see fit to order such preliminary expenses so paid, and the parties to whom such expenses may be owing are not willing to agree to wait until a fund for their payment can be provided by special assessments upon such district, then the county court by proper order shall require the petitioner or petitioners to pay to the county clerk a fund sufficient to pay such preliminary expenses, and the bond required of petitioners by § 69-5-103 shall be liable for such preliminary expenses, and judgment on the bond may be rendered at any time by the county court to the end such fund for expenses be provided, just as courts render judgments on cost bonds, and one such judgment shall not prevent other judgments on the same bond, so the sum of the judgments does not exceed the penalty of the bond.
