and to see that all regulations of the Board and all provisions of law to, 

 prevent the introduction or spread of fruit pests and diseases of trees 

 or plants injurious to the horticultural interests of the State are en- 

 forced. Any member of the Board, or secretary thereof, shall forthwith, 

 upon the complaint of interested parties, inspect orchards, nurseries and 

 other places suspected to be infested with fruit pests or infected with 

 contagious diseases injurious to the trees, plants or fruits. If, upon 

 report of any member or the secretary, the Board shall be of the opinion 

 that any locality, district, orchai'd or place is infested with fruit pests, 

 or infected with contagious diseases, or injurious to trees, plants, or 

 fruits, and liable to spread to other orchards or localities to their dam- 

 age or injury so as to be a public danger, said Board shall, by an order 

 entered upon its minutes, declare such place to be under quarantine, 

 and shall give notice thereof by posting a notice in writing in a con- 

 spicuous place upon the premises, specifying with convenient certainty 

 what place or premises are under quarantine regulations, and by de- 

 livering a copy of such notice to the owner or person in charge of the 

 premises, if he may be found thereon; and such place shall thereafter 

 be subject to quarantine regulations of the Board, and violation theie^f 

 shall be punishable as hereinbefore provided. As soon as, in the opinion 

 of any member of the Board or the secretary thereof, the danger from 

 such quarantine locality shall have ceased, he may susi^end the said 

 quarantine, and shall immediately report the fact to the Board, who 

 may confirm such action or may re-establish the said quarantine, in 

 which case it shall not be again suspended but by action of the Board. 



Section 8. The Board, and, in case of necessity during the recess of 

 the Board, the member residing in the quarantined district, or the sec- 

 retary, may appoint such quarantine guardian as may be needed to 

 carry out the provisions of this act, whose duty it shall be to see that 

 the regulations of the Board and the instructions of the secretary aie 

 enforced and carried out. They shall also repoi-t to the Board all in- 

 fractions or violations of said regulations or the law in regard to quar- 

 antining, disinfection, and destruction of pests. The salary of quaran- 

 tine guardians shall be fixed by the Board at not to exceed $2 per day, 

 and shall be paid by the owners of orchards or other places under 

 quarantine, and they may maintain an action therefor before any justice 

 of the peace in any district in which any quarantined locality is wholly 

 or in part located; but in no case shall they have any claim upon the 

 State for such services. 



Section 9. The powers conferred in the two preceding sections of 

 this act shall be exercised only in great and imminent danger to the 

 fruit interests of the State, and with the utmost caution and regard for 

 the rights of individuals affected, consistent with the safety and welfare 

 of the fruit interests of the whole State. 



Section 10. It shall be the duty of the several members of the Board, 

 and of the secretary, under their direction, whenever they shall desm it 

 necessary, to cause an inspection to be made of any orchard, nurseries,
