                                 (a)    by calculating the grant under subsection (1);
                                 (b)    by treating Crowsnest Pass as a number of separate urban municipal areas each one of which is eligible for assistance in regard to facilities designated for each as if they were separate towns, villages or hamlets.
(4)  Crowsnest Pass is not eligible for grants provided only to municipal districts, except that Crowsnest Pass is eligible for assistance calculated for hamlets formerly in the improvement district area and now in the rural area in Crowsnest Pass.
