It shall then become the duty of the board of supervisors of such county to maintain and keep up such roads in place and stead of and in the same manner as the road commissioners of such district, and manage in place of said commissioners all of the fiscal affairs of said road district. The funds of each district shall be kept separate and applied to the district in which it was collected.
