105-F - Review by Commissioner.

§ 105-f. Review  by  commissioner.   If the claimant desires to appeal
  the county treasurer's disapproval of his claim or if he is dissatisfied
  with the amount of the damage as set forth in the assessor's report,  he
  may,  within  ten  days  after the receipt of the report, present to the
  commissioner a request for a review. The county  treasurer  may,  within
  ten  days  after  receiving  the report of the assessor, if dissatisfied
  with the damages stated in the report, present  to  the  commissioner  a
  request  for  a  review.  Upon  receipt of such request, from either the
  claimant or the  county  treasurer,  the  commissioner  shall  cause  an
  investigation  to  be  made  of  the  facts surrounding the death of the
  animal or animals described therein and the amount  of  damage  incurred
  thereby  for which indemnification should be made in accordance with the
  intent of this article. The claimant shall permit  the  commissioner  or
  his  duly  authorized  representative  to  enter  the premises where the
  animal or animals  for  which  indemnification  is  claimed  were  kept,
  harbored  or pastured, and shall furnish to the commissioner or his duly
  authorized  representative  whatever  information  and  proof   may   be
  available  to  the  claimant and deemed necessary by the commissioner or
  his representative to complete the investigation. After  the  completion
  of  such  investigation  the  commissioner  shall  make  his decision in
  writing as set forth in the preceding section.
