The judge of the district court shall require the public administrator to make a statement annually, under oath, of the amount of property in the administrator's hands or under the administrator's control as administrator, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of bond necessary to secure such property. The court, from time to time and as occasion may require, may demand additional security from the administrator, and if the same is not furnished within twenty days after such demand, may remove the public administrator and appoint another.
