It shall appoint a superintendent of the hospital   who shall be also the treasurer and secretary of the board, and  it  may   remove  him  for  cause stated in writing and after an opportunity to be   heard thereon after due notice; and may suspend him  from  duty  pending   the  disposition  of  such  charges.  Said superintendent shall not be a   member of  the  board  of  managers  and  shall  be  a  graduate  of  an   incorporated medical college, with an experience of at least three years   in the actual practice of his profession.2.

Shall have the general superintendence, management and  control  of   the  said  hospital,  of  the grounds, buildings, officers and employees   thereof, of the patients therein and of  all  matters  relating  to  the   government,  discipline,  contracts  and other affairs thereof; and make   such rules and regulations as may seem to be necessary for carrying  out   the purposes of such hospital.4.  Shall  maintain  an effective inspection of said hospital and keep   itself informed of the affairs and management thereof; shall meet at the   hospital at least once in every month, and at such other times as may be   prescribed in the by-laws; and shall hold its annual  meeting  at  least   three  weeks  prior  to the meeting of the board of supervisors at which   appropriations for the ensuing year are to be considered.5. Shall keep in a book provided for that purpose, a proper record  of   its  proceedings  which  shall be open at all times to the inspection of   its members, to the members of the board of supervisors of  the  county,   and to duly authorized representatives of the state department of social   welfare.6.  Shall  make to the board of supervisors of the county annually, at   such time as said supervisors shall direct, a  detailed  report  of  the   operations  of  the  hospital  during  the  year, the number of patients   received, the methods and results  of  their  treatment,  together  with   suitable recommendations and such other matters as may be required. Such   report may be printed for general distribution.7.  Shall  notwithstanding  any other general or special law erect all   additional buildings found necessary after the hospital has been  placed   in  operation and make all necessary improvements and repairs within the   limits of the appropriations made therefor by the board of  supervisors,   provided  that the location of the buildings and the plans and such part   of the specifications as shall be required by the state commissioner  of   health  for  such  additional  buildings,  improvements or repairs shall   first be approved by the state commissioner of  health.  Any  change  in   such  location  or  plans  shall  also  be  first  approved by the state   commissioner of health and the state commissioner of health and his duly   authorized representatives shall have the power to inspect  such  county   hospitals  during  the  course  of  the  construction of such additional   building for the purpose of seeing that such plans are complied with.8. Unless by an arrangement satisfactory to the board of managers  and   approved  by  the  state  commissioner of health such nursing service is   otherwise provided by the county, shall employ a  county  nurse,  or  an   additional  nurse  or nurses if it deems necessary, for the discovery of   tuberculosis cases and for the visitation of such cases and of  patients   discharged  from  the  hospital  and  for  such other duties as may seem   appropriate; and shall cause to be examined by the superintendent or one   of his medical staff suspected cases of tuberculosis reported to  it  by   the  county  nurse,  or  nurses,  or by physicians, teachers, employers,   heads of families or others; and it may take such other  steps  for  the    care,  treatment  and  prevention of tuberculosis as it may from time to   time deem wise.
