The board of county commissioners of any county in this state is hereby authorized to erect a memorial or memorials, or other suitable recognition, in commemoration of the people of the county who rendered services, or who lost their lives in the service of their country during a period of service as defined in section 37-01-40. The board may for such purpose use funds out of the general fund of the county if there is sufficient moneys in said fund, or use funds heretofore raised by tax levy for such memorial or memorials. The board may use for memorial purposes funds donated to the county for that purpose, or may use for such purpose funds out of the general fund of such county, if there is sufficient money in said fund, in conjunction with the funds so donated or obtained by such levy and tax, and the proceeds of such levy, tax, and donations, together with the amount taken out of the general fund, shall be used solely for the purpose of erecting such memorial or memorials, or other suitable recognition.2. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit said board from expending any additional moneys derived from sources other than taxation. Such memorial or memorials, or other suitable recognition, shall be erected within the county at a place determined upon by such board and when erected, shall be properly and permanently maintained. The board may provide for such maintenance or erection by necessary expenditures from the general fund of the county or from funds donated to the county therefor or from either or both such funds, or may enter into a written agreement with any public or private nonprofit agency or corporation for the assumption of part or all of such responsibility by such agency or corporation. Pursuant to such agreement, the county may acquire or divest itself of any title to or jurisdiction over such memorial or other suitable recognition.
