60. (a) The proprietor or manager of every warehouse except the
State tobacco warehouses holding tobacco for sale or storage shall
keep an open policy of insurance upon the contents of his warehouse
sufficient to cover every loss by fire or water, AND COVERAGE FOR
LOSS BY WATER IF SAME MAY BE OBTAINED AT REASON-
ABLE COST, which any person having tobacco stored therein may
sustain, and for failure so to do, he shall be liable to the owners of such
tobacco for any damage or loss such owners may sustain by reason
of any partial or total destruction of said tobacco by fire, OR WATER
LOSS IF SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN COVERED BY INSURANCE
or water. A reasonable amount for the expense of such insurance
coverage may be charged against the account of any person having
tobacco for sale or storage in such warehouse; provided, however,
that if such insurance coverage be furnished to the owners of
tobacco held for sale or in storage in such warehouse, by any selling
or commission agent, it shall not be necessary for such warehouse to
provide such insurance coverage.

(b) The Tobacco Inspector shall arrange for appropriate insur-
ance to cover every loss by fire, water and extended coverage, AND
COVERAGE FOR LOSS BY WATER IF SAME MAY BE OB-
TAINED AT REASONABLE COST, which any person having
tobacco stored in the State warehouses may sustain and such cover-
age shall be available by proper endorsement therein for the benefit
of any person storing such tobacco as his interests may appear. The
appropriate charge for such insurance coverage shall be paid by
the owner of such tobacco upon removal of the same from the ware-
house; except that no such insurance shall be provided and no charge
therefor shall be made where the owner of such tobacco waives in
writing such insurance coverage when the tobacco is placed in such
warehouses.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
July 1, 1957.

Approved March 1, 1957.
