§ 346. County or part-county boards of health; general expenses. 1.

In counties having a county auditor or county comptroller, all charges

and other expenses of a county or part-county health district shall be

audited and paid in the same manner as other charges against the county.

In counties that do not have a county auditor or county comptroller, all

accounts, charges, claims and demands of such health district shall be

presented to and audited by the board of health of said district and

paid by the county treasurer upon warrants of the said board of health

within the limits of the appropriation made therefor.

2. The board of health of a county or part-county health district

shall submit annually in the manner prescribed by and on or before the

date fixed by or pursuant to law, an itemized estimate of the revenues

and expenditures of such health district, for the ensuing fiscal year.

The board of supervisors shall levy a tax upon the taxable property

within the county or part-county health district, to the extent

necessary to provide moneys to meet appropriations for such health

district. The board of supervisors may appropriate moneys in the manner

provided by law for any items of expense of the county or part-county

health district which may in any degree tend to promote the efficiency

of the administration of the provisions of this chapter and the

regulations adopted pursuant to the authority thereof.
