 reasons leading to the conclusion that the breeding places for mosquitoes 

 lying within the jurisdiction to which the report is sent, are supplying speci- 

 mens found in the neighboring jurisdiction, and submitting the measures 

 that should be taken to abolish these breeding places.

 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

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

 ous 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, 75 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 director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, who may, 

 out of the money appropriated by the state for this purpose, together 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.

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

 township 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 conditioned in section 3 of this act; provided, that no matter how many 

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

 in any one municipality.

 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 Ex- 

 periment Station or the person designated by him to carry out the purposes 

 of this act. stating that the work is satisfactory and effective for the purpose
