(70 ILCS 605/4-4) (from Ch. 42, par. 4-4)
Sec. 4-4.
Oath of Commissioners-Bond of Commissioners.) Before
entering on his duties each commissioner appointed or elected
under this Act shall qualify by subscribing to an oath to discharge the
duties of his office faithfully and without favor or partiality. He
shall also give bond payable to the People of the State of Illinois for
the use of all persons interested in an amount to be fixed by the
court in election districts or the appointing authority in other
districts and with surety to be approved by the appointing
authority, which bond shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance
of his duties and the faithful application of all moneys that may come
under his control. The oath and the bond shall be filed with the clerk
of the county in which the proceedings to organize the district
were held. In the event that a commissioner furnishes a bond with a corporate
surety thereon the premium charged by such surety shall be paid by the
district. The court in election districts or the appointing authority in
other districts, for good cause shown, may, and when
petitioned to do so by a majority of the adult landowners owning a
majority of the area embraced in the district, shall waive the
requirement that a commissioner furnish surety on his bond.
