All monies ordered to be paid from the retirement fund to any person or persons, shall be paid by the secretary of said board only upon warrants signed by the president and secretary of the board and countersigned by the treasurer thereof, except in event of physical disability of any one of these officers, then the vice president is authorized to sign provided certification is furnished by a medical doctor that said officer has a disability. No warrant shall be drawn except by orders of the board, duly entered upon the records of the proceedings of the board. In the event the said retirement fund, or any part thereof, shall by orders of said board, or otherwise, be deposited in any bank or banks, all interest or money which may be paid on account of any sum on deposit, shall belong to and constitute a part of said funds; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as authorizing said secretary to deposit said fund or any part thereof, unless so authorized by the board.
