Proposed Law. 



soon as can reasonably be done without omitting the Per- 

 formance of other official duties equally urgent. Upon the 

 request of any nurseryman or tree dealer doing business with- 

 in the State of Oregon, the commissioner of the State Board 

 of Horticulture for the district in which the shipping place 

 of business of such nurseryman or tree dealer is located may 

 deputize a suitable person to inspect outgoing shipments from 

 said nurseryman or tree dealer, and said nurseryman or tree 

 dealer shall pay such person so deputized for his Services 

 while they are required by such nurseryman or tree dealer. 

 In case the shipping business of any two or more nurserymen 

 and tree dealers is not in the aggregate more than one person 

 can properly inspect and such group shall make satisfactory 

 arrangements for the payment of the person making such 

 inspection, the commissioner may deputize a person to inspect 

 the shipments of all members of such group. No person 

 deputized by a commissioner to inspect outgoing shipments 

 of nursery stock shall make any certificate concerning such 

 shipments which is not true, and no person so deputized shall 

 allow a certificate of inspection given by him to be attached 

 to any tree, shrub, vine, plant, scion, bud, or box, crate, bale, 

 bündle or Container of the same or of any of them unless he 

 has personally inspected the articles and all of them immedi- 

 ately before signing such certificate which must be dated in 

 writing at the time it is signed. The commissioner may revoke 

 deputization of any such person at any time if he believes 

 such person is not properly doing his duty. 



See. 5484. Such county inspector and each deputy county 

 inspector shall be paid for his Services by the said county the 

 sum of three dollars per day and his actual necessary expenses 

 ineurred in the Performance of his duties. The county 

 inspector and each deputy county inspector shall report 

 monthly to the commissioner of the State Board of Horticul- 

 ture of the district in which he is employed the time for which 

 he is entitled to pay during the month for which such report 

 is made and a statement of his actual necessary expenses 

 ineurred in the Performance of his duties as such inspector 

 or deputy inspector with vouchers for such expenses, and the 

 commissioner shall certify the same to the county court of the 

 county before such compensation and expenses shall be paid. 

 The county court of each county shall supply the county 

 inspector and deputy county inspectors with such blanks, sta- 

 tionery and postage as are needed in the Performance of their 

 official duties. If it appear to the county court of any county 

 that it will be for the best interest of the people of such county 

 to do so, it may agree to pay, and pay to its county inspector 

 a larger sum than three dollars per day for his Services.
