(A) Each public weigh master shall issue a weight certificate, signed by him or his deputy, under his official seal, which certificate shall state thereon the following: the commodity, produce, article, or articles weighed; the name of the weigh master or deputy weigh master who did the weighing; the name and address of the person, firm, or corporation for whom the weighing was done; the name of the driver of the vehicle bringing such commodity, produce, article, or articles to the scales, or, if the same is not contained in a vehicle, the name and address of the person bringing the same to the scales; where contained in a vehicle, the kind of vehicle and the name and address of the purchaser or consignee of the commodity weighed; when the commodity is loaded in a vehicle, the total or gross weight of the commodity weighed and the conveyance in which it is loaded, together with the driver and any other person who may be on the vehicle when weighed; the tare weight or the weight of the vehicle, including driver and any other person who may have been on the vehicle when weighed while loading, the net weight of the commodity, produce, article, or articles contained in such vehicles, or the net weight of the commodity, produce, article, or articles when not contained in a vehicle at the time of weighing. In no case shall any public weigh master state in his certificate the tare weight of any vehicle until after he shall have weighed the vehicle in such manner as to secure the weight as specified herein; provided, however, that in the case of a divided load, by which is meant a load containing more than one order for the same or different purchasers or consignees no penalty shall be imposed under this chapter by reason of the fact that the tare weight shown on the weight certificate is only the original tare weight of the vehicle and equipment before loading if in such case each order has been weighed separately and the net weight of each order or delivery is correctly shown on the weight certificate and such correct net weight is delivered.
(B) Every kind of any commodity, produce, or other article or articles of merchandise sold in load lots by weight, delivered by wagon, truck, or other vehicles within the village, shall be weighed by a public weigh master; a certificate of weight for each such load, issued by such public weigh master shall be delivered by the driver or person in charge of the wagon, truck, or other vehicle used in the delivery to the purchaser or consignee of such load, or to his or their agent, at the time of the delivery and before any of the commodity, produce, or other article or articles of merchandise is removed from the vehicles, or such certificates shall be delivered to the members of the Police Department or any officer or employee designated by the Village President and Board of Trustees upon his or their demand. When delivery is made, in case no person is present to receive such commodity, produce, or other article or articles of merchandise, and if the purchaser or consignee or his or their agent cannot be located, then the memorandum or certificate of weight hereinbefore provided for shall be posted conspicuously at the place of delivery, before any of the commodity, produce, or other article or articles of merchandise is removed from the vehicle.
