 awarded. 



8. In all investigations made under section 2 of this act, the report to be 

 made to the board of health requesting the survey shall state what mosquitoes 

 were found in the territory complained of, whether they are local breeders 

 or migrants from other points, and in the case of migrants, their probable 

 source, whether the territory in question is dangerous or a nuisance because 

 of mosquito breeding, the character of the work necessary to abate such nui- 

 sance and abolish the breeding places, and the probable cost of the work. 

 Said board of health must then proceed to abolish the breeding places found 

 under the general powers of such boards, but if it shall appear that the neces- 

 sary cost of the work shall equal or exceed the value of the land without 

 increasing its taxable value, such board may apply to the director aforesaid, 

 who may, if he deems the matter of sufficient public interest, contribute to 

 the cost of the necessary work provided that not more than fifty per centum 

 of the amount shall be contributed in any case and not more than $500.00 in 

 any one municipality. 



9. All moneys contributed or set aside out of the amount appropriated in 

 this act by the director of the Agricultural Experiment Station in accordance 

 with its provision shall be paid out by the comptroller of the state upon the 

 certificate of said director that all the conditions and requirements of this 

 act have been complied with, and in the case provided for in section 5 pay-

 charge of the work, as therein prescribed, attested by said director, showing 

 the amount due and that the work has been completed in accordance with the 

 specifications of his contract.

 said director of the State Agricultural Experiment Station shall have power 

 to expend such amount of money, annually, as may be appropriated by the 

 Legislature ; provided, that the aggregate sum appropriated for the purposes 

 of this act shall not exceed $350,000.00. The comptroller of the state shall 

 draw his warrant in payment of all bills approved by the director of the State 

 Experiment Station, and the treasurer of the state shall pay all warrants so 

 drawn to the extent of the amount appropriated by the Legislature.
