(1) Upon the receipt
of the notice aforesaid the council shall, in accordance with the notice, pay
to the director-general, for the purposes of the hospital, the contribution
required of it.
(2) The contribution
may be paid by the council out of its revenue, or out of the proceeds of a
special rate declared and levied by the council for that purpose, or partly by
one means and partly by the other.
(3) For the purpose of
raising the money to pay the contribution the council may, without the consent
of the ratepayers, declare a special rate on the rateable property within the

declared that portion only of an area is served by a hospital to which this
Part applies the special rate shall be declared and levied only on the ratable
property within that portion of the area which is specified in the notice. The
special rate shall be in addition to any special rate authorised to be
declared and levied by a council under the Local Government Act 1934 and
the amount of the special rate shall not be taken into consideration in
determining whether the limit up to which a council may rate has been reached.

as inconsistent with this Act, all the provisions of the
Local Government Act 1934 shall apply to and in respect of the declaring,
levying, and recovery of the said special rate.
(5) The payment of the
contribution as required by this section shall be deemed to be a duty imposed
upon the council by the Local Government Act 1934 .
(6) The amount of any
contribution required from any council which is for the time being unpaid may
be deducted by the Minister of Local Government from any subsidy or grant
payable to the council, and any amount so deducted may be paid to the
director-general on account of the council from whose subsidy or grant the
amount was deducted.
