The Board may exclude from the use of the hospital any and all persons who shall willfully violate such rules and regulations.
Any person or persons, firm, organization, corporation or society, desiring to make donations of money, personal property or real estate, or to bequeath or devise any property for the purpose of maintaining the Wamego City Hospital, for the treatment of persons ill with bodily ailments and disease or for surgery in general or special, or for special classes of diseases, whether contagious or infectious or otherwise, shall have the right to vest the title to the money or property so donated, bequeathed or devised in the Board of Trustees of the Wamego City Hospital of Wamego, Kansas.
