section. Notice that such amount has been set aside as above described shall' 

 be given to the board of health within whose jurisdiction such mosquito- 

 breeding places are situated, and said board shall thereupon appoint some 

 person designated by said director or his executive officer a special inspector 

 of said board for the sole purpose of acting in his behalf in abating the 

 nuisance found to be existing, and all acts and work done to abate such 

 nuisances and to abolish such breeding places shall be done in the name of and 

 on behalf of such board of health. 



6. If, in the proceeding taken under section 4 of this act, the common coun- 

 cil or other governing body of any municipality appropriate to the extent of 

 50 per centum or more of the money required to abate the nuisance and to 

 abolish the mosquito-breeding places within its jurisdiction, it shall become 

 the duty of said director of the Agricultural Experiment Station to set aside 

 out of the moneys herein appropriated such sum as may be necessary to 

 complete the work, and in all cases preference shall be given, in the assign- 

 ment of moneys herein appropriated, to those municipalities that contribute 

 to the work and in the order of the percentage which they contribute; those 

 contributing the highest percentage to be in all cases preferred in order. 



7. In all cases where a municipality contributes 50 per centum or more of 

 the estimated cost of abolishing the breeding places for salt-marsh mos- 

 quitoes within its jurisdiction, the work may be done by the municipality 

 as other work is done under its direction, and the amount set aside as pro- 

 vided in section 6 may be paid to the treasurer or other disbursing ofificer 

 of such municipality for use in completing work ; but no payment shall be 

 made to such treasurer or other disbursing officer until the amount appro- 

 priated by the municipality has been actually expended, nor until a certifi- 

 cate has been filed by the director or his executive officer stating that the 

 work already done is satisfactory and sufficient to obtain the desired result, 

 and that the arrangements made for its completion are proper and can be 

 carried out for the sum 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 mos- 

 quitoes 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 quesetion is dangerous or a nuis- 

 ance because of mosquito breeding, the character of the work necessary to 

 abate such nuisance 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 necessary cost of the work shall equal or exceed the value of the 

 land without increasing its taxable value, such board may apply to the direc- 

 tor 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 50 

 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 provisions shall be paid out by the comptroller of the state upon 

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