(65 ILCS 5/9-2-126) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-126)
Sec. 9-2-126.
Whenever any voucher, bond or interest coupon issued by a
municipality in anticipation of the collection of special assessments under
any of the provisions of this Division 2 has been lost, destroyed or stolen
and proof is made to the official of the municipality charged with making
payments on the voucher, bond or interest coupon that the loss, theft or
destruction occurred while the voucher, bond or interest coupon was owned
by and in possession of the claimant, such official shall issue or cause to
be issued and delivered to the claimant a duplicate of such voucher, bond
or interest coupon alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen after
first indorsing on the duplicate all payment of principal and interest made
on the original voucher, bond or interest coupon. However, the claimant
shall prior to issuance of any such duplicate execute and deliver to the
municipality a bond in a penalty at least double the amount of the
principal of such voucher, bond or interest coupon alleged to have been
lost, destroyed or stolen with sufficient security to be approved by the
municipal official, conditioned to indemnify the municipality against all
claims by any other person on account of such voucher, bond or interest
coupon and against all costs and expenses by reason thereof.
