[=Duties of board.=] When so convened, and being duly sworn truly to
try and decide upon the charges made, the board of examiners shall
summon any witnesses desired by either party, and examine them, on
oath, administered by a member of the board. Depositions may be read
on such examination as in other cases. The board shall examine fully
into the truth of such charges and report the result of its
investigation to the governor; and, according to its finding, award
the costs and expenses of such investigation against the inspector
or the persons signing the bond. The costs and expenses of such
investigation shall include a compensation of five dollars per day
for each member of the board, for the time occupied in the trial,
and in traveling to and from his home, together with all legitimate
expenses which shall be paid from the state treasury on the
certificate of the president of such board. The attorney general
shall proceed to collect such costs and expenses, and pay them into
the state treasury.
