MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 1669

because they are properly referred to as
special markings as defined in §7—101(j).

In subsection (c) the present reference to
"time" is proposed for deletion; "date" is
substituted because the time is not
recorded but the date.

The only other changes made are in style.
SEC. 7-311. WEIGHING HOGSHEAD.

THE SECRETARY SHALL WEIGH SEPARATELY EACH HOGSHEAD
BEFORE IT IS UNCASED, THE TOBACCO IN EACH HOGSHEAD,
AND THE CASK ITSELF, IN SCALES WITH WEIGHTS OF THE
PROPER STANDARD. THE SECRETARY SHALL ENTER THE WEIGHT
OF EACH HOGSHEAD AS FIRST WEIGHED, AND THE GROSS,
TARE, AND NET WEIGHT OF THE TOBACCO CONTAINED IN IT
AFTER INSPECTION IN A PROPER BOOK, WITH SUFFICIENT
REFERENCE TO ITS NUMBERS AND SPECIAL MARKINGS AS
PREVIOUSLY RECORDED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 48, §18 of the Code. This section is
revised so that the Secretary is responsible
for executing the duties of this section to
maintain consistency with other titles of
this Article which vest all responsibilities
in the Secretary. In the second sentence
language is added to indicate that the tare
weight must also be recorded to maintain
consistency with the first sentence which
requires the Secretary to weigh the cask
itself. This addition also codifies the
Department practice.

The present reference to "marks" is proposed
for deletion and a reference to "special
markings" is added in light of the definition
set forth in §7-101(j).

The only other changes made are in style.
