§ 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.
