624 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 309
outage, storage or any other charge thereon, to the State or any
of its constituted officers.
46. If any grower or owner of tobacco grown in this State
shall desire to store such tobacco in any of the State tobacco
warehouses, without having the same inspected by the State
inspectors and without the same being subject to the laws relat-
ing to inspections of tobacco, he may do so upon paying storage
therefor at the rate of twenty-five cents per hogshead per month,
or fractional part of a month, for the first two months that said
tobacco shall remain in said warehouses, and fifteen cents per
month or fractional part of a month for every succeeding month
that said tobacco shall remain in said warehouses; but no charge
for outage shall be made upon said tobacco, and all money
received from said storage shall be credited to the warehouse
receipts of the warehouse in which said tobacco shall be stored
but no tobacco stored in said warehouse under the provisions of
this section shall be inspected in said warehouse by a private
inspector; and the said tobacco may at any time be removed
from said warehouse by the owner upon payment of the stor-
age in the same manner as if said warehouse was a private
warehouse.
47. The Comptroller, Librarian, or other proper officer,
shall furnish the said Board with a reasonable number of
bound copies of so much of this article as relates to the inspec-
tion of tobacco, for its office or its inspector's use, the cost of
the same to be paid out of the tobacco fund.
48. If any owner, or owners of tobacco, or his, her or their
agent or agents, shall believe that any of their tobacco has been
incorrectly sampled, and shall so notify the inspector before the
sale thereof, and within ten days of the date of its inspection,
the matter shall be referred to a committee of arbitration, con-
sisting of three persons, to be selected as follows: One thereof
shall be selected by the inspector and approved by the said
Board, one thereof shall be selected by the owners of the tobacco
or their agent or agents, and the two thus selected shall select
the remaining member of the committee, and said committee
shall then have the power to require the said inspector, in
charge of said hogshead or hogsheads of tobacco to have the
same re-opened, and if it shall be found that the sample does
not correctly represent said tobacco, the said committee or ma-
jority of them, shall select a sample which shall correctly repre-
sent it, and the new sample shall be substituted, in the place
of the rejected sample, at no cost to the owner or owners;
