inspector of nurseries and orchards a license to do business in this State, as provided 
in section five of this act, and he shall also file with the inspector of nurseries and

the expense of which procedure shall be certified to the proper township, city, or 
county officers, and by them be allowed, who shall cause the same to be assessed as 
a@ special tax upon the premises concerned.
