and collected for public aid to all persons eligible therefor under
Article VI of this Code, funds for the operation costs of any county
convalescent home in the county, in addition to payment of patient expenses
otherwise provided for under this Code. No township which receives State
funds for general assistance may use moneys received and collected for public aid for
