Expenses.

5.(1) The expenses of a county council under this Act shall, subject to the provisions of this section, be raised by means of the poor rate as a county at large charge.

(2) If the county council consider that those expenses or any part thereof should, instead of being levied as a county at large charge, be levied as an urban charge or a district charge, as the case may be, off any urban or rural district or districts in the county specially benefited by the works, they shall pass a resolution in the prescribed form and shall communicate the same to the council of every county district affected, and subject to an appeal by any such council, and the right of the Local Government Board upon such appeal to modify or rescind the resolution, the resolution shall come into operation in like manner as a declaration of a county council as to main roads comes into operation under section eight of the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898, and subsections (5) to (10) of that section shall apply accordingly with the necessary modifications, and in particular with the modification that the powers of the Local Government Board on an appeal shall include a power to rescind the resolution.

(3) When a resolution under this section comes into operation it shall remain in operation unless and until it is modified or rescinded by the Local Government Board on the application of the council of the county or of any county district affected, and if so modified shall, subject to the modifications, have effect in like manner as the original resolution.
