148 - Appeals from orders of health officer.

 148. Appeals  from orders of health officer. Any person aggrieved by
  an order, decision or  direction  of  the  health  officer,  may  appeal
  therefrom  to  the  commissioner,  who may affirm, reverse or modify the
  order, decision or direction appealed from. Such appeal must be made  by
  serving  on  the  health  officer  a written notice of appeal within two
  days, Sundays and legal holidays excepted, or within such  further  time
  as  shall  be  allowed  by the commissioner after the appellant receives
  notice of the order, decision or direction  appealed  from.  Within  two
  days  after  receiving such notice of appeal, Sundays and legal holidays
  excepted, the  health  officer  shall  make  a  written  return  to  the
  commissioner  of the facts and evidence on which such an order, decision
  or direction is founded. Upon receipt of such return, or if no return be
  made within the time specified, the commissioner shall forthwith proceed
  to hear and determine the matter. Upon such appeal the commissioner need
  not be confined to the evidence contained  in  the  return  but  in  his
  discretion  may  take  additional  evidence.  Until  the decision of the
  appeal be made, the order, decision or direction appealed from shall  be
  suspended.  In  case  of failure to sustain the appeal, the commissioner
  may, in his discretion, impose costs not exceeding ten dollars upon  the
  appellant.
