Any officer, required by law to give bond, who fails to file the same in the proper office within the time prescribed vacates the office. In such cases, it is the duty of the officer in whose office such bond is required to be filed, at once, to certify such failure to the appointing power, and the vacancy shall be filled as in other cases.
