(2) Whenever, after the passing of this Act, a local authority provides, in pursuance of the obligation in that behalf imposed on them by this Act, a place to become and be a pound and the county registrar is satisfied that such place is suitable for use as a pound and is in good repair and condition, the county registrar shall issue to such local authority a certificate declaring such place to be a pound and thereupon such place shall become and be a pound provided by such local authority under this Act.

(3) Whenever any place provided as a pound by a local authority before the passing of this Act is at such passing used as a pound, the county registrar shall, if and when he is satisfied that such place is suitable for use as a pound and is in good repair and condition, issue to such local authority a certificate declaring such place to be a pound and thereupon such place shall become and be a pound and shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to have been provided by such local authority under this Act.

(4) Where a place provided as a pound by a local authority before the passing of this Act is at such passing used as a pound, nothing in this section shall prevent such place continuing to be used as a pound until the issue in respect thereof of either a certificate under the next preceding sub-section of this section or a certificate under this Act that such place is no longer required as a pound.
