Fuel", relating to the revocation or suspension of certificate
of registration issued for the sale of solid fuel.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Mary-
land, That Section 59 of Article 97 of the Annotated Code of
Maryland (1939 Edition), title "Weights and Measures", sub-
title "Solid Fuel", be, and the same is hereby repealed and
re-enacted, with amendments, to read as follows:

59. The Chief Inspector of Licenses shall revoke any certifi-
cate of registration issued pursuant to the provisions of this
sub-title, upon proof that the applicant has made false state-
ments in his application for said certificate of registration, or
upon proof that the person to whom such a certificate of regis-
tration has been issued has been guilty of a violation of any
provision of this sub-title, and a conviction of such violation
by any court or magistrate shall be conclusive evidence of such
violation. Such revocation shall be made only upon complaint
of some person and after hearing upon due notice to the holder
of such certificate of registration. It shall be the duty of the
Clerk of such court or magistrate to report in writing, to the
Chief Inspector of Licenses, within five days after any such
convictions, every conviction under this sub-title, and it shall
be the duty of the Chief Inspector of Licenses immediately
upon receipt of such notification, to revoke the license or cer-
tificate of the licensee so convicted. An appeal by the licensee
from the decision of such court or magistrate shall operate
as a stay of revocation of said license. Upon complaint of any
person that the holder of a certificate of registration has been
buying, selling or transporting stolen anthracite within the
State of Maryland, the Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Mines,
shall, after giving notice to the holder of such certificate of
registration, hear said complaint and if he finds that said com-
plaint is well founded, he shall so notify the Chief Inspector
of Licenses, who shall thereupon revoke the said certificate of
registration. Wherever the certificate of registration of any
person has been revoked, the Chief Inspector of Licenses shall
immediately notify the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas
and the Clerks of the Circuit Courts for the respective coun-
ties of such revocation, and no such clerk shall issue any fur-
ther certificate for a period of one year from the date of such
revocation. For the purposes of this section, anthracite coal
taken from a commingled mass, any part of which is stolen,
shall be deemed to be stolen antracite. Any person selling
solid fuel in the State of Maryland during the time that his
certificate of registration as a solid fuel dealer has been re-
voked, shall be deemed guilty of a violation of the provisions of
this section and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by
