desiring treatment in such hospital, may apply in person to the Medical Director, or to any reputable physician for examination and such physician, if he finds that said person is suffering from tuberculosis in any form, may apply to the Medical Director for his admission. Blank forms for such application which have been approved by the State Tuberculosis Commission shall be provided by each of said hospitals and shall be forwarded by the Medical Director thereof gratuitously to any reputable physician in the district. So far as possible, application for admission to the hospital shall be made upon such forms. The Medical Director of the hospital, upon receipt of such application, if it appears therefrom that the patient is suffering from tuberculosis, and if there is a vacancy therein, shall notify the applicant to appear in person at the hospital. If, upon personal examination of such patient, the Medical Director is satisfied that such person is suffering from tuberculosis, he shall admit him to the hospital as a patient. All such applications shall state whether in the judgment of the physician, the person is able to pay in whole or in part for his treatment at the hospital and every application shall be filed and recorded in a book kept for that purpose in the order of their receipt. When said hospital is completed and ready for the treatment of patients, or whenever thereafter there are vacancies therein, admission to said hospital shall be made in the order in which the names of the applicants appear upon the application book to be kept as above provided, insofar as such applicants are certified to by the Medical Director to be suffering from tuberculosis. No discrimination shall be made in the accommodation, care or treatment of any patient because of the fact that the patient or his relatives contribute to the cost of his maintenance in whole or in part, and no patient shall be permitted to pay for his maintenance in such hospital a greater sum than the average per capita cost of maintenance for the preceeding quarter, including a reasonable allowance for the interest on the cost of the hospital, and no officer or employee of such hospital shall accept from any patient thereof any fee, payment or gratuity whatsoever for his services.

Whenever a patient has been admitted to said hospital from the District in which the hospital is situated, the Medical Director shall cause inquiry to be made of the Board of County Commissioners of the county in which he resides as to his circumstances, and of the relatives of such patient legally liable for his support. If he finds that such patient or said relatives legally liable for his support are able to pay for his treatment in whole or in part, an order shall be

made directing such patient, or said relatives, to pay to the Director of the District Tuberculosis Hospital for the support of such patient, a specified sum per week, in proportion to their financial ability, but such sum shall not exceed the actual per capita cost of maintenance for the preceeding quarter. The County Commissioners of the County in which the patient resides shall have the power and authority to collect such sum from said patient or his estate, or from his relatives legally liable for his support. If the Medical Director finds that such patient or said relatives are not able to pay, either in whole or in part, for his care and treatment in such hospital, said patient shall be admitted free of charge. Financial arrangements with patients shall be considered confidential by the State Commission and Hospital Staff.
