reasonable ground to believe that eggs are kept in cold-storage or
chemical-storage or that liquid egg is prepared therein, or that the
provisions of section twelve or section thirteen are being contravened, and
may search for and inspect and take for the purpose of examination samples of
eggs in the premises, and may require any person whom he finds in or about the
