In all cases in which the attendance of witnesses may be compelled for an investigation, under section 505.494 of the Revised Code, any member of the board of township trustees may administer the requisite oaths. The board has the same power to compel the giving of testimony by attending witnesses as is conferred upon courts. In all such cases, witnesses shall be entitled to the same privileges, immunities, and compensation as are allowed witnesses in civil cases, and the costs of all such proceedings shall be payable from the general fund of the township.
