17-1714 - Establishment and maintenance of hospitals.

 
    §  17-1714  Establishment  and  maintenance  of  hospitals. 1. For the
  purpose of enabling such villages  to  procure  federal  aid  under  the
  provisions  of the national industrial recovery act in the establishment
  of hospitals, the board of trustees of any village which has been or may
  hereafter be incorporated or which has annexed territory to embrace  the
  entire  territory  of a town, and which is adjacent to a city or town in
  which a  hospital  is  maintained  by  a  duly  incorporated  membership
  corporation, may acquire by gift or purchase title to lands in such city
  or  town  in trust for hospital purposes. If such land is to be acquired
  by gift, the acquisition shall be subject to a permissive referendum  or
  if  such  land  is  to be acquired by purchase, the acquisition shall be
  subject to a permissive referendum if it is to be paid from taxes levied
  for the fiscal year in which such expenditure is  made.  The  board  may
  construct  and  maintain  on  such land suitable buildings and equip the
  same for hospital purposes and, from time to time,  enter  into  one  or
  more  agreements  with  such  membership  hospital  corporation  for the
  control and operation thereof, and such board of trustees may accept  on
  such  terms  as  the president of the United States shall prescribe, any
  grants made by him pursuant to  the  provisions  of  the  said  national
  industrial  recovery  act  in  aid  of  the  establishment  of  the said
  hospital.
    2. There shall be  levied  and  assessed  annually  upon  the  taxable
  property  in  the  said  village  in  the manner prescribed by law a sum
  sufficient to defray the cost of the operation and  maintenance  of  the
  said  hospital  in  each  year, as estimated by the board of trustees of
  such village.
    3. Hospital corporations duly incorporated under the provisions of the
  membership corporation law are hereby empowered to dedicate,  grant  and
  release  to  any  such  village  lands for said purposes, upon terms and
  conditions to be approved by its board of governors, and to  enter  into
  agreements  with  the  board  of  trustees  of  any such village for the
  control, operation and maintenance of any hospital or  hospitals  to  be
  constructed as hereinbefore provided.
