All notes, bonds, mortgages, and other securities shall be made out to and in the name of the irrigation district, and shall be, together with the money received from the sale, deposited with the county treasurer of the county in which the district was originally organized. The notes, bonds, mortgages, and other securities may be paid out only upon warrants duly authorized by the board of directors of the district, signed by the president and secretary of the board.
