When, in the opinion of the director and the commissioner of agriculture, markets, and food a necessity exists requiring the destruction of currant and gooseberry bushes in any town, the director or the director's authorized agents may remove or destroy any currant and gooseberry bushes within such town and charge the expense to state appropriations made available for this purpose or in the event state appropriations are not made available or are insufficient for this purpose, charge said expenses to the town; provided, however, that no town shall be required to expend more than $400 in any one year for such control measures. If such order is not complied with, the governor and council may order such town to carry out any control measures specified by the director.
