Compiler's notes. — The words "this act" refer to Laws 1957, ch. 212, compiled herein as 76-5-2, 76-5-3, 76-5-5, 76-5-8 to 76-5-10 NMSA 1978. Constitutionality. — The grasshopper control program meets the tests which have been established by the supreme court of this state as meeting the requirements of N.M. Const., art. IX, § 14; that is (1) a public purpose is being served; and (2) complete control of the expenditure of the state's contribution rests in a state agency. Therefore, the appropriation made by the legislature through house bill no. 193 of the twenty-third regular session of the state legislature and codified as this section and following, is constitutional and is not in violation of N.M. Const., art. IX, § 14. 1959 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 59-92. Law reviews. — For note, "Forest Fire Protection on Public and Private Lands in New Mexico," see 4 Nat. Resources J. 374 (1964).
