(605 ILCS 5/6-123) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-123)
Sec. 6-123.
When the electors in any townships have voted for the
consolidation of such townships into a consolidated township road district
for road purposes, the supervisors and township clerks in the respective
townships so consolidated shall, ex-officio, constitute a highway board of
auditors for such township road district. Such highway board of auditors
shall organize and select one of their number as chairman, another as clerk
and another as treasurer of the consolidated township road district. The
officers of each such newly organized consolidated township road district
so elected shall hold office until the first Tuesday in April, 1959 or
until the first Tuesday of each succeeding fourth year thereafter, and
their successors shall hold office for a term of 4 years and until their
respective successors are selected and qualified; except that no person
shall be a member of such highway board of auditors or such an officer of
such consolidated township road district after the expiration of his term
as supervisor or township clerk. Vacancies in such consolidated township
road district offices shall be filled by the highway board of auditors.
Such highway board of auditors shall have the same powers and duties with
respect to road matters as have the board of town auditors in townships and
such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by law.
