The secretary shall be the custodian of the records of the district and of its corporate seal, and shall assist the board in such particulars as it may direct in the performance of its duties. The secretary shall attest, under the corporate seal, all certified copies of the official records and files that may be required of him by this act, or by any person ordering the same and paying the reasonable cost of transcription, and any portion of the record so certified and attested shall prima facie import verity.

The board of directors are hereby vested with full power and authority to do and perform every act and thing necessary to carry out, to all intents and purposes, the provisions of this act, purposes and objects for which the district is created, including the power to enter into contracts with, and engage all necessary agents and employees, and to fix their compensation and to require of any such employees bonds for the faithful performance of their duties, as to the directors may seem proper. The members of the board of directors shall receive no salary or other compensation, but shall be allowed their actual expenses incurred in performing their official duties, and not to exceed five ($5.00) dollars for each day's attendance at all regular or called meetings.
