     Requiring collectors of special taxes to give bond.

        Section 1.  Collectors of special taxes to give bonds
        It shall and may be lawful for all the several courts of any
     county of this Commonwealth to require of the proper parties of
     any borough, township or district, authorized and empowered to
     collect special taxes, a bond in such amount as the court shall
     direct, with one or more sureties, conditioned for the faithful
     collection and paying over of all special taxes, directed to be
     assessed and collected for the purpose of paying indebtedness or
     any other purpose, in pursuance of the provisions of any law now
     in force or hereafter passed, which bond shall be filed in the
     said court for the protection of all parties interested therein;
     and in case the said officer or officers refuse or neglect to
     give security as aforesaid to be approved by the court, within
     the time ordered by the court, it shall nevertheless be the duty
     of such officer or officers to assess to levy the said taxes as
     required by law, and the court may appoint a tax collector, who
     shall collect the said taxes and pay the same into court, to be
     distributed by the court to and among the persons entitled
     thereto: provided, that before such tax collector shall enter
     upon his duties, he shall give a bond, with one or more sureties
     to be approved by the court, for the faithful performance of the
     duties of his appointment.  1878, May 25, P.L. 150, Sec. 1.
