by filing new bond, and the said vacancy shall be filled as provided by
law in case of death, resignation or removal; this provision shall be
mandatory.

his discretion, immediately demand of such bank a new bond with good
and sufficient surety or sureties; if such bank shall not within thirty
days after service of notice upon it by the state treasurer furnish new
bond with good and sufficient surety of sureties to be approved by the
