Section 1494,f. Inspection of apiaries—Inspection, appointment, duties, 
compensation. The governor may appoint for a term of two years a State in- 
spector of apiaries. Said inspector shall, when notified of existence of disease 
known as foul brood among apiaries, examine all such as are so reported and 
all others in the same locality and ascertain whether or not such disease exists, 
and, if satisfied of its existence, shall give the owner or person who has care of 
such apiaries full instructions as to the manner of treating them. 
Within a reasonable time after making such examination the inspector shall 
make another examination thereof, and if the condition of any of them is such 
as in his judgment renders it necessary he may burn all the colonies of bees and 
all the comb necessary to prevent the spread of the disease. 
Such inspector shall, before such burning, give the notice provided for in 
and otherwise proceed pursuant to the provisions of section 1492, b. The in- 
spector shall make at the close of each calendar year a report to the governor, 
stating the number of apiaries visited, the number of those diseased and treated,

performance of his duties. Said inspector shall receive four dollars for each 
day actually and necessarily spent in the performance of his duties and be re 
imbursed the money expended by him in defraying expenses: Provided, That 
the total expenditure for such purpose shall not exceed seven hundred dollars 
per year.
