Any expenses incurred by the council of a county or county borough under this provision shall be paid, in the case of a council of a county as a county at large charge, and in the case of a county borough as expenses of the council of the borough in the execution of the Public Health (Ireland) Acts, 1878 to 1907, but the amount raised by the council of a county or county borough in any year for the purpose shall not exceed the amount which would be produced by a rate of one penny in the pound, or such higher rate as the council of the county or borough, with the consent of the Local Government Board, may fix.
