ARTICLE 9. Hospitals for Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Section 140. Establishment of hospitals. 141. Selection of site. 142. Jurisdiction of local board of health. Section 140. Establishment of hospitals. A city of the first class, shall have power whenever its board of health shall deem it necessary for the promotion of the health of its inhabitants, to establish, equip and maintain, outside of its corporate limits, and not within the limits of any other city or any village, a hospital or hospitals for the regular treatment of the disease known as pulmonary tuberculosis. [L. 1899, ch. 637, § 1, rewritten limiting the section to cities of the first class. The title to the act now states that cities of the first class may establish hospitals, but section one says, any municipal corporation having a population of two hundred and fifty thousand. It was probably the intent of the legislature to apply this act only to cities, and we have rewritten the section accordingly.] § 141. Selection of site.-Whenever a city of the first class shall desire to exercise the power conferred by this article it shall through its board of health, select such locality outside of its corporate limits, but within the state, and not within the corporate limits of any other city or any village, as it may consider best adapted by reason of climatic and other conditions for the treatment of such disease, and shall make application to the state board of health for the approval of the site so selected. Upon such approval being given the city may acquire title to such lands as its board of health may designate, within the limits of the locality submitted to and approved by the state board of health. The provisions of law relating to the acquiring of private property for public purposes are hereby made applic able as far as may be necessary to the acquiring of title to such lands. [L. 1899, ch. 637, § 2, rewritten and changed by inserting "a city of the first class" in place of the words "municipal corporation" and by inserting "without the corporate limits of any other city or any village."] § 142. Jurisdiction of local board of health.-All hospitals or institutions now or hereafter established or maintained by any city of the first class for the regular or special treatment of persons suffering from the disease known as pulmonary tuberculosis shall be subject to the approval of the local board of health; special wards or pavilions for the treatment of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in existing hospitals shall be provided with separate nurses, cooking utensils, washing and plumbing facilities. [L. 1899, ch. 637, § 3, without change, except the words "by a city of the first class" are inserted, and "respective" is omitted.] ARTICLE 10. Protection of Purchasers of Coal. Section 150.

One of such tickets shall be delivered to the purchaser of the coal specified thereon, and the other of such tickets shall be retained by the seller of the coal. Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate the provisions of this section shall be liable to a penalty of not exceeding fifty dollars. [L. 1897, ch. 174, § 3, in part.

Proviso as to delivery of entire cargo.-The preceding section shall not apply to coal delivered by the entire cargo direct from the vessel containing the same to one destination and accepted by the purchaser on the original bill of lading as proof of weight; but with every such delivery of an entire cargo of coal in any city of the first or second class, there shall be delivered to the purchaser thereof one of the original bills of lading, issued by the person, firm or corporation by whom the coal was loaded into the vessel from which such coal is delivered to the purchaser of the entire cargo thereof, on each of which bills of lading there shall be in ink or other indelible substance distinctly expressed the date and place of loading such cargo, and the number of pounds contained therein.

Such scales shall also be provided by the owner thereof with a competent weighmaster. The owner of such scales shall be entitled to charge for weighing coal and coal vehicles containing coal, at such sales, a fee of not exceeding fifteen cents per ton of coal; empty vehicles returning to such scale after delivery of the coal so weighed therein shall be reweighed without further charge. [L. 1897, ch. 174, § 4, in part. Birds. sup. 74, without change.] § 154. Right of purchaser to have coal reweighed. It shall be the right of every purchaser of coal in any of the cities of the first and second class, before accepting the delivery of the same, to have any of the delivery of such coal weighed at his expense, at any of the scales designated under the provisions of the pre ceding sections, provided such scales are within a half mile of the place of loading or the place of the delivery of the coal, and for this purpose to require that any vehicle containing coal purchased by him shall be taken by the driver or other person in charge thereof to such scales for the purpose of having the same weighed, and after the delivery of the coal to require that the vehicle from which such coal so purchased shall have been delivered shall be taken by the driver thereof, or any other person in charge thereof, to such scales to be weighed at the expense of the purchaser thereof, and a certificate of the weight of such coal, so weighed as aforesaid shall thereupon be furnished to the purchaser of such coal by the owner of the scales at which such coal is so weighed.
