Section 430:4 Suppression by Towns.

For the purposes of this subdivision, the commissioner and the state entomologist may require any town to take such measures as, in their judgment, are reasonable and proper, up to a cost not exceeding, in any one year, 1/10 of one percent of the tax valuation of said town for the preceding year. If a town shall fail to execute the prescribed measures, the commissioner and state entomologist may cause the work to be done and the expense thereof, not exceeding said 1/10 of one percent of the tax valuation, may be recovered from the town in an action by the state.
