  3.  The collector shall give bond payable to the drainage district for the probable amount of all drainage taxes to be collected in any one year conditioned for the faithful performance of all his duties in accordance with this chapter.  Such bond shall be signed by at least two residents of the county or by a surety company authorized to transact business in the state.  The bond shall be approved by the county commission and the premium, if any, may be paid out of any funds belonging to the district.
