§ 511.13.
No member of the board of township trustees or any officer or employee thereof shall
be interested in any contract entered into by such board. No such person shall be individually liable to any contractor upon any contract
made under sections 511.08 to 511.17, inclusive, of the Revised Code , nor shall he be liable to any person on any claims occasioned by any act or default

of such corporation, the value of which does not exceed five hundred dollars. If a stockholder desires to avail himself of the exception provided in this section,
he shall, before entering upon such contract, first file with the clerk of the board
of county commissioners, an affidavit, stating his exact status and connection with
the corporation.
