fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500) or by im-
prisonment for not more than six (6) months or by both such
fine and imprisonment. Where solid fuel is delivered in car
load quantity to a single consumer or to one or more consumers
who have agreed to divide a car load lot and who are trans-
porting the solid fuel from the siding or have made arrange-
ments for such transportation, the delivery ticket shall show
merely the initial, number and location of the car from which
said fuel was unloaded, the date of delivery and the name of
the person making delivery. Nothing in this section shall

46EE. No person shall make or issue a delivery ticket for
solid fuel as provided in this sub-title unless such solid fuel
has been weighed as herein provided by a Weighmaster duly
licensed by the Bureau of Mines. Application for a license
shall be made upon the form prescribed by the Chief Mine
Engineer, shall state the name and address of the applicant's
employer and shall be verified by the oath of the applicant.
In addition the applicant shall furnish satisfactory evidence
of good moral character, and of ability to weigh accurately,
and make correct weigh tickets. The Bureau may issue a
license upon the payment of the annual license fee of ten dol-
lars ($ 10). The license may be renewed for successive periods
of one year each, upon payment of a license fee of ten dollars
($10), which license shall be kept in the place where the Weigh-
master is engaged in weighing and shall be open to inspection.
Every licensed Weighmaster shall notify the Bureau in writing
of any change in the name or address of his employer. A
license may be suspended or revoked by the Chief Mine Engi-
neer after hearing, upon due notice to the licensee, for dis-
honesty, incompetency, inaccuracy, or any violation of the
provisions of this sub-title. No licensed Weighmaster shall
knowingly permit any delivery ticket to be used or issued
which purports to bear his signature which was not in fact
signed by him or which expresses a weight not ascertained
by him, nor shall any person use a delivery ticket not signed
by a licensed Weighmaster, nor knowingly issue or use a de-
livery ticket which purports to bear the signature of a licensed
Weighmaster, but which was not in fact signed by such
licensed Weighmaster. No licensed Weighmaster shall weigh
up and sign a delivery ticket for any load of solid fuel unless
such load is weighed by him on scales located within the State,
which have been tested, approved, and sealed within twelve
months, by the Bureau of Mines, or, in case of scales located
within the City of Baltimore, by the Division of Weights and
Measures of the Department of Public Works of the City of
Baltimore, and unless within twenty-four hours preceding the
weighing of the vehicle loaded he shall have first weighed the
