§ 100. Payment of annuity. The department of social welfare shall
annually pay to the clerk of the Saint Regis tribe out of moneys
appropriated therefor by the legislature, any amount due to such tribe
pursuant to the terms of existing agreements between the state and such
Indians. Before receiving any such money, such clerk shall execute a
bond to the Saint Regis tribe in double the amount of the money payable
to him. Such bond shall be approved as to form, amount and sufficiency
of sureties by the county judge of Franklin county. The council of
chiefs of the Saint Regis tribe may, in case of default, delinquency or
misconduct of such clerk, maintain an action upon such bond. Before
receiving any such money, the clerk shall also prepare under the
direction of the chiefs an annual roll of the members of the Saint Regis
tribe who are eligible to receive annuity money, including therein the
name and post-office address of each such member, and file copies of
such roll in the offices of the department of social welfare and the
county clerk of Franklin county. The department of social welfare shall
not in any manner be charged with or be responsible for the distribution
or expenditure of such annuity money by such tribe or any officials
thereof.
