23518,Washington County (Utah). County Recorder,Oaths of office and bonds,1897-1930.,Chronological by date.,"The laws of Utah as adopted in 1896 required county officials to take an oath and give a bond before entering into the discharge of their duties. All official bonds were to be recorded in the office of the county recorder and filed in the office of the county clerk (Laws of Utah\, 1896\, chapter 81\, sec 48 & 56). In the oath of office a new official swore that he would faithfully carry out the duties of his office. In the bond the new official and his sureties put up a bond for an amount determined by the county commissioners. The bond stated that if the officer neglected to perform his duties\, then this money would paid to the county\, but if he did faithfully carry out his duties\, then the bond would become null and void. The Washington County recorder recorded the bonds of many county officials.",,Public,0.50 cubic foot 1 microfilm reel
