Such bond shall be approved as to form, amount and sufficiency of sureties by the county judge of Franklin county. The council of chiefs of the Saint Regis tribe may, in case of default, delinquency or misconduct of such clerk, maintain an action upon such bond. Before receiving any such money, the clerk shall also prepare under the direction of the chiefs an annual roll of the members of the Saint Regis tribe who are eligible to receive annuity money, including therein the name and post-office address of each such member, and file copies of such roll in the offices of the department of social welfare and the county clerk of Franklin county. The department of social welfare shall not in any manner be charged with or be responsible for the distribution or expenditure of such annuity money by such tribe or any officials thereof.
