The state treasurer shall, as soon as he receives such warrant, deposit the amount thereof in the bank or banks where, according to the terms of the bonds, the interest and bonds are to be paid for, or in some state depository for delivery to such bank or banks. He shall keep an account with each such bank or banks where such deposit has been made, charging it with such deposit and crediting it with the amounts of the bonds and interest coupons as the same are delivered to the state treasurer in his office. The state bond commission shall provide for the method of acceptance and cancellation of bonds and interest coupons duly paid by requiring the paying agent or agents: To deliver bonds and coupons duly paid and cancelled to the state treasurer; or To furnish to the state treasurer, at the end of each month in which bonds and interest coupons of a given bond issue have been presented for payment and have been paid, a statement which shall contain a certified list of bonds and coupons duly paid and cancelled, showing for each issue the bond and coupon numbers, the amounts, the dates due, dates paid and such additional information as the state bond commission shall require along with the bonds and coupons paid. Bonds and interest coupons duly paid shall be properly entered in a bond and interest register of the bond issue to which they belong in the state treasurer’s office, and the treasurer shall accept as cancelled those duly paid and cancelled and so delivered by the paying agent or agents. Any certified list submitted by the paying agent or agents as to payment and cancellation of bonds and interest coupons shall be accepted as conclusive as to payment and cancellation, and such paying agent or agents shall accept responsibility for proper payment and disposition of all bonds and coupons, and for any duplicate payments, payments to unauthorized persons and nonpayment to authorized persons occurring as a result of cancellation or destruction of bonds and coupons.
