§ 1320. Noxious weeds and growths; declaration of nuisance. 1.
Whenever in any health district there shall be growing on any property
therein any ragweed or other species of weed, plant or growth which is
noxious or detrimental to the public health, or the seed, pollen or
other emanation therefrom, when carried through the air or otherwise
dispersed, is noxious or detrimental to the public health, the local
board of health of any such health district may take and file upon its
records what it shall regard as sufficient proof to authorize a
declaration that the existence of any such growth is a nuisance or
danger to the public health, and may thereupon enter the same upon its
records as a nuisance and order the same to be removed, destroyed or
otherwise abated on any property wherever found.

2. The local board of health may also take and file among its records
what it shall regard as sufficient proof to authorize a declaration that
at any season or period of the year there exists a particular and
imminent danger to the public health by reason of the approaching period
of pollination of any such growth and may enter such determination upon
its record.
