     343.11 Acquisition of property, appropriations. 


    Every county and district society for the prevention of 
 cruelty to animals may acquire, by purchase, gift, grant, or 
 devise, and hold, use, or convey, real estate and personal 
 property, and lease, mortgage, sell, or use the same in any 
 manner conducive to its interest, to the same extent as natural 
 persons.  The county board of any county, or the council of any 
 city, in which such societies exist, may, in its discretion, 
 appropriate for the maintenance and support of such societies in 
 the transaction of the work for which they are organized, any 
 sums of money not otherwise appropriated, not to exceed in any 
 one year the sum of $4,800 or the sum of $1 per capita based 
 upon the county's or city's population as of the most recent 
 federal census, whichever is greater; provided, that no part of 
 the appropriation shall be expended for the payment of the 
 salary of any officer of the society.
