Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 41 of 1958 A BILL TO AMEND THE MUNICIPAL HOSPITALS ACT NOTE · This Bill amends The Municipal Hospitals Act, being

chapter 185 of the Revised Statutes of Alberta,

Section 47a is new. This Act did not clearly define the .time when a newly elected member of a municipal of a municipal hospital board took his office.

Section 47a pro vides that a newly elected member takes office at a meeting subsequent to the declaration of the returning officer as to the results of the poll. A member of the board holds office until his successor takes his oath of office which must be taken by a member of the board before entering upon his duties. ·

Section 71 is amended. Subsection (2) is renumbered as subsection (4). New subsections (2) and (3) are added. The effect of the amendment is to permit a board which has once obtained authority for an increased capital expenditure and which later finds that its estimate of the additional amount required is inadequate, to borrow a further addi tion~tl amount for capital expenditure. If the amount re quired is not over forty thousand dollars or thirty per cent of the original estimate, whichever is less, they may borrow with the approval of the Minister and the Board of Public Utility Commissioners.

If the additional amount required is greater, however, they must obtain approval by a vote, in addition to the approval of the Minister and the Board.

Section 73, subsection (la) is amended. The effect of this amendment is to make this

section conform with The ABBeBs ment Act, as amended, in respect of equalizing the distribu tion of requisitions where different index values for assess ment have been used by contributing municipalities. This Bill comes into force upon assent. J. W.RYAN, Acting Legilll<rtive Coumel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but ia offered in e~planation of its proviBions.)
