Forthwith, upon the filing of such bond as aforesaid, the town clerk of
the town shall indorse upon copies of such bond to be provided by the
said supervisor, a certificate to the effect that the said bond has been
filed in the office of such town clerk, and said supervisor shall serve
such copies and certificate upon the railroad commissioners
respectively, and thereupon it shall be the duty of such railroad
commissioners to pay over to such supervisor all moneys remaining in
their hands as railroad commissioners of such town, and to deliver all

evidences of debt transferred by said commissioners to said supervisor
as aforesaid, which by the terms thereof are payable to the said

as if indorsed by said railroad commissioners.
