ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 69

under the seal of the State, said controversy shall be referred
to a committee of arbitration consisting of three persons to be
selected as follows: one thereof shall be selected, by the in-
spector with the approval of the Governor, one thereof shall
be selected by the claimant or claimants or his or their agents,
and the two thus selected shall select the remaining member
of said committee; provided, however, that no person shall be
so selected, or if selected shall be competent to serve as a mem-
ber of any committee of arbitration who shall have a direct
or indirect interest in the tobacco in controversy.

28. If any certificate or note be lost or mislaid or destroyed
the person entitled to receive the tobacco by virtue of such
note or certificate may make oath before a justice of the peace
to the effect of said note being lost and shall take a certificate
to that effect from such justice of the peace to the inspector
and deposit the same with him; then the inspector may de-
liver to such person a new note or certificate with marks,
numbers, weights and date corresponding with the former
note and the inspector shall thereby be discharged from all
action and demands on account of such former note or cer-
tificate.

39. Whenever so large an amount of inspected tobacco
shall have accumulated in the warehouses as to delay inspec-
tion, the inspector shall have the right to rent storage for as
much as may be necessary to remove.

40. All tobacco inspected in the State Tobacco Warehouse
of Maryland shall be entitled to storage free of charge for
six months from the date of sale.

41. Every hogshead of tobacco inspected in the Maryland
State Tobacco Warehouse which shall remain in such ware-
house, after having been sold by the grower or his agent, for
a period longer than six months from date of sale thereof,
shall be subject to such storage charges, after the expiration
of such period of six months from date of sale, as shall, from
time to time, be fixed by the inspector.

44. It shall be the duty of the several inspectors of to-
bacco to carefully return all bundles of tobacco, other than
samples which may be drawn in sampling, and all bundles
which may be displaced in uncasing tobacco to the hogshead
from which the same were drawn or displaced; and any agent
or employee of said inspector who shall knowingh violate the
provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of misconduct
in office, and shall be liable to removal.
