No soil or sand brought to this Territory in connection with or around the 
roots of plants, trees, or other vegetation, or rocks or stones with soil or sand 
adhering to them, shall be allowed to be imported into this Territory until the 
same shall have been removed to a suitable place for inspection and quarantine, 
and there held for such length of time as, in the discretion of the board or its 
officers or agents, shall be necessary to prove that it is not infected with insects, 
blights, scales, or diseases injurious to trees, plants, or other vegetation of value. 
Sec. 15. The board shall, with the approval of the governor, adopt a reason- 
able scale of charges, which may be changed from time to time, for the inspec- 
tion, disinfection, fumigation, and quarantine authorized, required, or permitted 
by this act. Certificates and permits herein provided for concerning articles 
imported, or proposed to be imported, into this Territory, and the charges so 
provided for shall be paid for in advance before any certificate or permit is 
delivered or any of said articles are permitted to be landed. If thereafter fur- 
ther expense is incurred in the inspection, treatment, or quarantine of any of 
said articles, the charges therefor shall be paid before any of said articles shall 
be delivered. 
Sec. 16. Any person violating any of the provisions of this act, and any master 
of any vessel which shall bring into this Territory any article which the board 
shall at any time prohibit from being imported into this Territory; and the 
master of any vessel from which shall be landed any article in this act required 
to be inspected, until he shall have received a permit to land the said articles 
from the board or its officer or inspector, as herein provided, shall be guilty 
of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $500, or impris- 
onment as aforesaid, in the discretion of the court. 
Sec. 17. Any person who shall feel aggrieved at any decision of any inspector 
of the board shall have the right to appeal from such decision to the board.
