Upon the filing in the office of the county clerk of a duly certified copy of an ordinance levying such tax the county clerk shall extend such tax in the manner provided for the extension of city and village taxes.
All taxes specified in this Section or in Sections 11-29-17 through 11-29-22, shall be levied and collected in like manner with the general taxes of the city or village and shall be known as tuberculosis sanitarium fund. These taxes shall be in addition to all other taxes which the city or village is now or hereafter may be authorized to levy upon all property within the city or village, and shall be in addition, to the amount authorized to be levied for general purposes as provided by Section 8-3-1.
The corporate authorities of every city or village which levies an annual tax for the establishment and maintenance of a program for the care and treatment of persons afflicted with tuberculosis shall appropriate from the tuberculosis sanitarium fund and include in the annual appropriation ordinance such sums of money as may be deemed necessary to defray all necessary expenses and liabilities in carrying out the program for the care and treatment of persons afflicted with tuberculosis.
