This Act may be cited as the Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Act, 1907, and shall form part of and be read together with the Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Act, 1885 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

Section thirty-two of the principal Act is hereby amended by omitting the words “of any endowments vested in them,” and substituting “on mortgage of any land vested in the Board”; and by adding to the said section the words “but no such mortgage of any endowments vested in the Board shall contain a power of sale.”

The moneys payable to a Board by contributory local authorities shall include all moneys which are required by the Board for the purpose of purchasing or procuring land as a site for any hospital or other institution which the Board is authorised to erect or provide; and shall also include all moneys which are required by the Board for the erection, repair, extension, alteration, or equipment of any such hospital or other institution.

All moneys so required by a Board may be allocated among the contributory local authorities, and shall be recoverable from them by the Board in the same manner as other moneys required by the Board may now be allocated and recovered.

It shall be lawful for a Board to distribute, over such period of years as the Board thinks fit, the amount recoverable from local authorities under the provisions of this section, and in each year to demand and recover from the contributory local authorities instalments of the said amount accordingly.

Notwithstanding anything in the principal Act, a town district that is not part of a county shall, for the purposes of the said Act, be and be deemed to have been from the date of the passing of the Town Districts Act, 1906, part of the district within the boundaries of which such town district is situated, and the Board of such town district shall be and be deemed to have been a contributory local authority accordingly.
