one thousand dollars, and the balance he shall retain as his
own compensation for the services hereby imposed and per-
formed; provided, that, besides the two cents, he shall pay all
excess over f 1,000 to the Comptroller, it being the intent of this
Act that he shall only receive f 1,000 per annum as his salary,
to be paid entirely from his fees, at 8 cents net per load. The
said vegetables shall be weighed in full wagon loads, and after
their delivery to the purchasers his wagon and the empty boxes
shall be returned to said scales and the weight thereof shall
be deducted from the gross weight as shown by the first weigh-
ing, and the said packers shall be required to pay for said
vegetables at the weight certified by said weigher. In case the
boxes in which said tomatoes are contained shall not be
returned, the said weigher shall weigh ten empty boxes, and
the average of weight shall be established as the weight of all
boxes contained in any wagon or wagons so weighed by him,
and any packer who shall refuse to pay for the same according
to the certificate of said weigher shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not
less than $10, nor more than $50, for each offense; and any
driver of any wagon who shall sell, dispose of or barter any of
the produce in his wagon which has been sold to a packer or
other purchaser between the time of the weighing of the same
and the delivery to the purchaser, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction before a Justice of the
Peace, shall be fined twenty-five dollars for each offense.
