Chapter 134, Laws of 1906 



An Act to provide for locating and abolishing mosquito- 

 breeding salt-marsh areas within the state, for assistance in 

 dealing with certain inland breeding places, and appropriat- 

 ing money to carry its provisions into effect. 



Be it enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the 

 State of New Jersey: 



1. It shall be the duty of the director of the State Experi- 

 ment Station, by himself or through an executive officer to be 

 appointed by him to carry out the provisions of this act, to sur- 

 vey or cause to be surveyed, all the salt-marsh areas within 

 the state, in such order as he may deem desirable, and to such 

 extent as he may deem necessary, and he shall prepare or cause 

 to be prepared a map of each section so surveyed, and shall 

 indicate all the mosquito-breeding places found on every such 

 area, together with a memorandum of the method to be 

 adopted in dealing with such mosquito-breeding places, and 

 the probable cost of abolishing the same. 



2. It shall be the further duty of said director, in the 

 manner above described, to survey, at the request of the board 

 of health of any city, town, township, borough or village within 

 the state, to such extent as may be necessary, any fresh-water 

 swamp or other territory suspected of breeding malarial ox 

 other mosquitoes, within the jurisdiction of such board, and 

 he shall prepare a map of such suspected area, locating upon 

 it such mosquito-breeding places as may be discovered, and 

 shall report upon the same as hereinafter provided in section 

 eight of this act. Requests as hereinbefore provided for in 

 this section may be made by any board of health within the 

 state, upon its own motion, and must be made upon the peti- 

 tion, in writing, of ten or more freeholders residing within the 

 jurisdiction of any such board. 



3. Whenever, in the course of a survey made as pre- 

 scribed in section one of this act, it is found that within the 

 limits of any city, town, township, borough or village there 

 exists points or places where salt-marsh mosquitoes breed, it 

 shall be the duty of the director aforesaid, through his execu- 

 tive office, to notify, in writing, by personal service upon some 

 officer or member thereof, the board of health within whose 

 jurisdiction such breeding points or places occur, of the ex- 

 tent and location of such breeding places, and such notice shall 

 be accompanied by a -copy of the map prepared as prescribed 

 in section one, and of the memorandum stating the character 

 of the work to be done and its probable cost, also therein pro- 

 vided for. It shall thereupon become the duty of the said 

 board, within twenty days from the time at which notice is 

 served as aforesaid, to investigate the ownership, so far as
