 tion, and neglect to make such report shall render the inspector liable to the 

 penalties imposed under section 14 of this Act. 



12. Any person appointed by the Minister under this Act to inspect, or 

 to destroy any plant, for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of the Act, 

 and any inspector appointed by the council of the municipality, shall, upon
