inspector of said board for the sole purpose of acting in its 

 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 four of this 

 act the common council or other governing body of any munici- 

 pality appropriate to the extent of fifty 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 Sta- 

 tion 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 assignment 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 fifty per 

 centum or more of the estimated cost of abolishing the breed- 

 ing places for salt-marsh mosquitoes 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 provided 

 in section six may be paid to the treasurer or other disbursing 

 officer of such municipality for use in completing the work; 

 but no payment shall be made to such treasurer or other dis- 

 bursing officer until the amount appropriated by the munici- 

 pality has been actually expended, nor until a certificate 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 arrangements made for its comple- 

 tion are proper and can be carried out for the sum awarded. 



8. In all investigations made under section two 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 nuisance and abolish the breed- 

 ing 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 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
