Whenever any nuisance or foul odors injurious to the public health within the territorial jurisdiction of a local board shall have a source of origin outside such territorial jurisdiction, the State Commissioner of Health may institute an action in the Superior Court, in the name of the State, on the relation of the commissioner, to enjoin the continuance of the nuisance or source of foulness or ill health.
