surety on official bonds; and the Governor of the State may require the
Treasurer to give surety on the bond required of him by this Article, to
be approved by the Governor, one of the corporations authorized as afore-

such surety without being required so to do, the County Commissioners
shall pay the premium or charge for such suretyships, and shall reimburse
to the Treasurer any such charge or premium as he may have heretofore
paid for such suretyships. Upon default of the Treasurer elect to execute
