30:9-44.1.  Hospital for communicable diseases;  use as annex to county almshouse in certain first class counties
    The board of chosen freeholders of a county of the first class, in which there is or may be a hospital for communicable diseases established under any law for such purpose, may use such hospital as an annex to the county almshouse  to provide a sick bay and hospital facilities for such almshouse; provided,  the said board of chosen freeholders shall, by resolution, determine that there  is no necessity for a continuation of the use of said hospital exclusively for  the care and treatment of persons afflicted with communicable diseases owing to  an insufficiency or lack of patients. Whenever any such resolution shall be  adopted, the said board of chosen freeholders shall not be required to make the  appropriation directed to be made by section 30:9-44 of the Revised Statutes  until such time as a public hospital for the care and treatment of communicable  diseases shall again be established in said county, but may make appropriations  for the maintenance of said hospital as an annex to the county almshouse, in  the same manner as other appropriations are made for county purposes.
