Motion passed unanimously. March 41 1946. Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Redwood City Redwood City, California Opinion No. 49. RIGHT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROPRIATE MONEY TO REPAY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR EXPENSES OF ELECTION TO ORGANIZE HOSPITAL DISTRICT IF ORGANIZATION DEFEATED. 1 Gentlemen: The local hospital committee has asked my opinion as to the power, or right of the City Council to appropriate approximately $2,100.00 to reim- burse the county of San Mateo for the expenses necessarily incurred in an election to be held for the purpose of organizing a local hospital district in case the election should be adverse to the organization of the district. The expenses estimated are approximately $2,100.00. If the election carries and the district is organized, the Board of Supervisors will meet the expenses by an assessment against the property of the district of the County, but if the district is not organized, the County will want insur- ance that it will be reimbursed for the expenses above mentioned. In the first place we must assume that this election is for the pur- pose of bringing about the organization of a district which will engage in a public activity in distinction from a private activity. A city acting under a charter has all general powers for the management of its local municipal affairs that are not prohibited to it. This provision is par- ticularly stated in Section 3 of the Charter of this City in the introduc- tory paragraph. In subdivision 11 of Section 3 the city is specifically given power to erect and maintain buildings for hospital purposes whether
