Sec. 36-6. Condemnation and destruction of incorrect weights
and measures; condemnation for repairs; rejected
weights and measures.[421]
(a) The city sealer shall condemn, and may seize and may
destroy, weights and measures found to be incorrect that, in
his best judgment, are not susceptible of satisfactory repair.
Weights and measures that have been "condemned for repairs"
may be confiscated and may be destroyed by the city
sealer if not corrected as required by subsection (b) of this
section, or if used or disposed contrary to the requirements of
such subsection (b).
(b) Weights and measures that have been rejected or condemned
for repair under the authority of the city sealer shall
remain subject to the control of the city sealer until such time
as suitable repair or disposition thereof has been made as
required by this subsection. The owners of such rejected
weights and measures shall cause the same to be made correct
within such time as may be authorized by the city sealer, or,
in lieu of this, may dispose of the same, but only in such a
manner as is specifically authorized by the city sealer. Weights
and measures that have been rejected shall not again be used
commercially until they have been officially re-examined and
found to be correct or until specific written permission for
such use is issued by the city sealer.
