Section 13. Notice of neglect to file oath or undertaking

The officer or
  body making the appointment or  certificate  of  election  of  a  public
  officer   shall,  if  the  officer  be  required  to  give  an  official
  undertaking to be filed in an  office  other  than  that  in  which  the
  written appointment or certificate of election is to be filed, forthwith
  give  written  notice  of such appointment or election to the officer in
  whose office the undertaking is  to  be  filed.  If  any  officer  shall
  neglect,  within  the time required by law, to take and file an official
  oath, or execute and file an official  undertaking,  the  officer,  with
  whom  or  in  whose  office  such  oath or undertaking is required to be
  filed, shall forthwith give notice of such neglect, if of an  appointive
  officer,  to  the  authority  appointing such officer; if of an elective
  officer, to the officer, board or body authorized to fill a  vacancy  in
  such  office,  if  any,  or  if  none and a vacancy in the office may be
  filled by a special election, to the officer, board or  body  authorized
  to  call  or  give  notice  of  a special election to fill such vacancy;
  except that the notice of failure of a justice of the peace to file  his
  official  oath,  shall  be given to the town clerk of the town for which
  the justice was elected.
