Section 2

Section 2. If a majority of the electors voting upon such question at such election shall vote in favor of the establishment of such a hospital, the county commissioners shall acquire a site for such hospital either by purchase or condemnation; in case such site shall be acquired by condemnation, the procedure for the assessment of damages for the property taken shall be the same as is now provided by law for the acquisition of land under the power of eminent domain by any school district for school purposes; the power to acquire such a site for a hospital by eminent domain is hereby vested in the county,--the same being exercised through the county commissioners to the same extent and in the same manner that the power of eminent domain is exercised through school directors in the acquisition of property for school purposes.
