Latest version.
  • 1. Each county mosquito control commission  shall  use  every
      means  feasible and practicable to suppress mosquitoes, ticks, flies and
      other hominoxious arthropods of every kind  requiring  community  action
      for  their  control,  and which may be found within the county for which
      such commission is appointed.
        2. Such commission shall have power and  authority  to  enter  without
      hinderance  upon  any  or all lands within the county for the purpose of
      draining or treating the same and to perform all other acts which in its
      opinion and judgment may be necessary and proper for the elimination  of
      mosquitoes  or  other hominoxious arthropods which may require community
      action for their control, and which may be found within  such  counties,
      but such measures shall not be injurious to wild life.
        3.  Before  entering upon any such lands for such purposes as outlined
      under this section, the commission shall publish each year at least once
      during the year, immediately following the  approval  of  the  board  of
      supervisors of its plans for work during the ensuing year as provided in
      this  article,  in  at  least  one newspaper in every town of the county
      where work is to be performed and in which such a paper is published,  a
      general  description  of the land where the work is to be performed, and
      in case of a town where work is to be performed by the commission and in
      which no newspaper is published, individual notices shall be first  sent
      to  every  owner in such town upon whose land the commission proposes to
      enter for said purposes if the name of such owner be known;  if  unknown
      such  notice shall be posted in not less than five conspicuous places in
      such town.
