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 weight-
master 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 weight
tickets. The Bureau may issue a license upon the payment
of the annual license fee of ten dollars ($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 weightmaster
is engaged in weighing and shall be open to inspection.
Every licensed weightmaster shall notify the Bureau in
writing of any change of the name or address of his
employer. A license may be suspended or revoked by the
Chief Mine Engineer after hearing, upon due notice to the
licensee, for dishonesty, incompetency, inaccuracy, or any
violation of the provisions of this sub-title. No licensed
weightmaster 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 weightmaster, nor
knowingly issue or use a delivery ticket which purports to
bear the signature of a licensed weightmaster, but which
was not in fact signed by such licensed weightmaster. No
licensed weightmaster 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 Balti-
more, and unless within twenty-four hours preceding the
weighing of the vehicle loaded he shall have first weighed
the vehicle empty to determine the true tare weight of the
vehicle unloaded and unless all the wheels of the vehicle,
tractor, trailer, or semi-trailer included, transporting the sol-
id fuel are on the scale at one and the same time, provided,
however, that if the tractor is disconnected from the trailer
