Bill No.8 of 1943. A BILL RESPECTING THE WETASKIWIN COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. NOTE. The reason for and the effect of this Bill is fully set out in the

preamble to the Bill. The Municipal Districts of Montgomery and Bigstone were combined into one large district under the provisions of

section 19 of The Municipal District Act, and while their obligations and liabilities under the agreements referred to in the

preamble pass to the new enlarged distri,ct, it was thought necessary to have legislation in order to settle the constitution of the Hospital Board for the future. Membership of the Hospital Board provided for by this Act is based on resolutions passed by the councils of the City of Wetaskiwin and of the former Municipal Districts of Montgomery and Bigstone prior to the dissolution of the two districts.
