 points a State Horticultural Inspector, at a salary of not less than 

 $900.00 per annum. The state is divided into not more than ten 

 districts, and a deputy horticultural inspector provided for each 

 district if necessary. Each inspector appointed receives as com- 

 pensation $5.00 per day for each day employed. These inspectors 

 or the State Inspector are empowered, of their own motion, or 

 upon complaint of interested parties, to enter upon any property, 

 private or public, for the purpose of inspection, and, if premises 

 are infested, are authorized to take any measures they deem fit 

 to eradicate the evil. The expense of removing nuisances of 

 this kind is paid by the owners of the property. A bond is re- 

 quired of parties doing business in the state, and upon receipt of 

 same the board issues a certificate to the applicant. Stock 

 shipped into state must have been fumigated or bear certificate 

 of inspection by the proper officer.
