[Ord. 4219, passed 1-30-1930; Ord. 5364, passed 5-18-1953]
No person shall see any coal or coke at retail within the City
until such person has obtained from the Sealer of Weights and Measures
a license to do so. The Sealer is authorized to issue a license to
all reputable and responsible persons who apply for a retail coal
and coke license, upon the payment of a license fee of $3. The Sealer
shall issue to the dealer with his license a license plate to be attached
to the truck or vehicle in which the coal or coke is to be delivered.
Any licensed dealer may procure from the Sealer additional license
plates to be used on additional trucks or vehicles at the rate of
$1.50 each. All licenses and license plates accompanying the same
shall be valid from January 1 to December 31 of the year of issue.
No dealer shall deliver coal or coke within the City in any vehicle
which does not bear a license plate issued under this article for
the year in which the delivery is made.
[Ord. 4219, passed 1-3-1930]
No person shall sell, deliver or attempt to deliver any coal
or coke at retail within the City without first having the same weighed
upon a scale inspected and approved by the Sealer of Weights and Measures.
No owner or keeper of any scale upon which coal or coke is weighed
shall weigh such coal or coke without giving to the person in charge
of the vehicle in which the coal or coke is being delivered a weigh
bill or delivery ticket in duplicate for the same. No person shall
deliver any coal or coke or sell the same at retail without having
obtained from the weigh master who has weighed the coal or coke, a
duplicate weigh bill or delivery ticket. All such weigh bills and
delivery tickets shall be made out upon a form to be approved by the
Sealer of Weights and Measures and shall express on the face thereof
distinctly in pounds avoirdupois the gross weight of the load; the
tare of the delivery vehicle and the net weight of the coal or coke,
and shall be signed by the person who weighs the coal or coke. The
person in charge of the delivery vehicle shall deliver to the purchaser
of the coal or coke one copy of the weigh bill or duplicate ticket.
The other copy of the weigh bill or duplicate ticket shall be kept
on file in the office or place of business of the dealer selling the
coal or coke, and all such weigh bills and delivery tickets shall
always be kept available for inspection by the Sealer of Weights and
Measures, and shall be surrendered to the Sealer at any time that
the Sealer demands the same, either by the dealer or by the driver
of the vehicle in which the coal or coke is delivered.
[Ord. 4219, passed 1-3-1930]
At times required by the City Treasurer, the Sealer of Weights
and Measures shall report all licenses issued and deposit with the
City Treasurer all money received therefore. The City Purchasing Agent
shall procure for the Sealer all license plates, books and records
necessary for the enforcement of this article.
[Ord. 4219, passed 1-3-1930]
Any person who violates any provision of this article or who sells or offers for sale at retail any coal or coke without complying with all of the provisions of this article shall be punished as provided in Section 101.99 of the Administrative Code. However, no conviction for the violation of the provisions of this article shall in any way release any person from liability for violation of any State Statute or any other City ordinance.
