Said warrants shall be delivered to the Commissioner of Forestry, for transmission to the district fire-wardens, who are hereby then required to pay the several sums so transmitted to the persons lawfully entitled thereto, taking proper receipts and vouchers for each payment so made, which vouchers shall be filed with the Commissioner of Forestry.
