The Powers and Immunities prescribed and granted in §§ 164,
165 and 167 of this article may, within the limits of any municipality, be
exercised and enjoyed by the appropriate officers and employees of such municipality
with respect and in regard to the Dutch Elm Disease, if with the approval
of the Commissioner and under the direction of the Commissioner or his representative
and if the local legislative body of any such municipality by local law or
ordinance elects to exercise and enjoy such powers and immunities.
