306 THE MOSQUITOES OF NEW JERSEY 



accompanied by a statement giving the origin of the request, the reasons 

 leading to the conclusion that the breeding places for mosquitoes lying within 

 the jurisdiction to which the report is sent, are supplying specimens found 

 in the neighboring jurisdiction, and submitting the measures that should be 

 taken to abolish these breeding places. 



3. Whenever an investigation made as aforesaid shall disclose the fact 

 that the mosquitoes infesting the community and causing the nuisance com- 

 plained of are those breeding on the salt-marsh areas within the jurisdiction 

 of any city, borough, incorporated town, village, township, or county from 

 which the application is made or adjacent thereto, a copy of the report shall 

 be sent to the board or boards of health of the municipality or municipalities 

 in which the breeding places are situated, attaching statements specifying 

 the localities affected by the marsh-breeding areas, the extent of the dan- 

 gerous area, the character of the work necessary to prevent further mosquito 

 breeding, and the probable cost of the work required in each municipality. 

 It shall be lawful for the governing body of any municipality above men- 

 tioned, upon the written request of the board of health of said municipality, 

 to appropriate, in the same manner as other appropriations are made, 

 seventy-five per cent of the sum required to complete the work aforesaid; 

 whenever such appropriation is made and is available, said board of health 

 shall certify this fact to the directory of the Agricultural Experiment Sta- 

 tion, who may, out of the money appropriated by the state for this purpose, 

 too-ether with the appropriation of such municipality so certified as available, 

 complete the work; provided, not more than $500.00 from said state-aid 

 appropriation shall be expended in any one municipality in any one year. 



4. Whenever it appears from the report made to any officer or body mak- 

 ing application for an investigation, that the sources or breeding places of 

 the mosquitoes complained of are on the salt marshes, wholly or in part with- 

 out the jurisdiction of the city, borough, incorporated town, village, town- 

 ship or county from which the application is made, it shall, nevertheless, be 

 lawful for the governing body of any such municipality to appropriate in the 

 same manner as other appropriations are made, such sum or sums as may be 

 deemed necessary to assist the municipality in which the breeding places 

 actually occur in securing the amount necessary to obtain the state aid condi- 

 tioned in section 3 of this act; provided, that no matter how many munici- 

 palities contribute, the sum limited in section 3 shall not be exceeded in any 

 one municipality. 



6. All sums contributed or appropriated under authority of this act shall 

 be paid to the treasurer of the municipality in which the work is to be done, 

 and the funds shall not be deemed available until the entire amount con- 

 tributed or appropriated shall be actually in the hands of such treasurer; 

 payments shall be made by such treasurer in the same manner as other bills 

 against the municipality are paid, but no bill for work done shall be paid 

 unless it is accompanied by a certificate from the director of the Agricultural
