Sec. 4. Whenever the commissioner of agriculture shall determine by inspection that there exists on any property or premises within his jurisdiction any trees, vines, shrubs, plants, or parts thereof, which are or have been neglected or abandoned, which because of the existence therein or thereon of injurious or destructive insect pests or plant diseases, or other conditions constitute a menace to the horticulture or agriculture of the county, district, or vicinity, he shall make a complete report of his inspection, setting forth in such report a description of the property or premises upon which the neglected or abandoned pest host exists, naming the pest or pests or other conditions which in his opinion are dangerous to the horticulture or agriculture of the county, district, or vicinity and, if in his judgment the findings justify, he shall state in such report that the removal or destruction of the neglected or abandoned trees, vines, shrubs, plants, or parts thereof, will provide the best means for the elimination of such menace to the horticulture and agriculture of the county, district or vicinity.
