any reason to do so, the Board of County Commissioners shall by
resolution authorize the execution thereof by some other member or
officer of said Board, and such execution shall be valid and sufficient

persons originally designated therein. Should any person signing said
bonds die or become incapacitated, or should he cease to be an officer
or a member of the Board, before the delivery of the bonds, such
signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes
