hospital or hospitals. The amount of any such payment under this section, together
with its supplementation, shall be deducted from any payment or payments
otherwise payable under the public local laws for the county or Baltimore City. If

hospital or hospitals, in substantially the same ratio as that required in the public
local laws. If the payment of the sum specified in this section plus the
supplementation therefor exceeds the total obligation of the county or city under
its public local laws, the obligation of the county or city under its public local laws
is satisfied and extinguished.

general or public local, inconsistent with the provisions of this Act are hereby
repealed to the extent of any inconsistency.
