Said board of directors shall have the power to  purchase or lease ground within the limits of such county, and to occupy,  lease or erect an appropriate building or buildings for the use of said  sanitarium, branches, dispensaries and other auxiliary institutions and  activities connected therewith, by and with the approval of the county  board: Provided, however, that no such building shall be constructed until  detailed plans therefor shall have been submitted to the secretary of the  State Board of Health, and shall have been approved by him: And, provided,  further, that no building in which tuberculosis patients are to be housed  shall be built on the grounds of a county poor farm, but shall have  separate and distinct grounds of its own. Said board of directors shall  have the power to appoint suitable superintendents or matrons, or both, and  all necessary assistants, and to fix their compensation, and shall also  have the power to remove such appointees, and shall in general carry out  the spirit and intent of this Division in establishing and  maintaining a county  tuberculosis sanitarium: Provided: that no sanitarium or branch, or  dispensary, or auxiliary institution, or activity, under this Division,  for tuberculosis patients shall be under the same management as a  county poor farm, or infirmary, but shall, on the contrary, be under a  management separate and distinct in every particular. One or more of said  directors shall visit and examine said sanitarium, and all branches,  dispensaries, auxiliary institutions, and activities at least twice in each  month, and shall make monthly reports of the condition thereof to the  county board.
