3. In all cities, and in all towns in which there is an inspector of
milk, every person who conveys milk in carriages or otherwise for the
purpose of selling the same in such city or town shall annually, on
the first day of May, or within thirty days thereafter, be licensed
by the inspector or inspectors of milk of such city or town to sell
milk within the limits thereof, and shall pay to such inspector or
inspectors fifty cents each to the use of the city or town. The
inspector or inspectors shall pay over monthly to the treasurer of
such city or town all sums collected by him or them. Licenses shall be
issued only in the names of the owners of carriages or other vehicles,
and shall for the purposes of this chapter be conclusive evidence of
ownership. No license shall be sold, assigned, or transferred. Each
license shall record the name, residence, place of business, number of
carriages or other vehicles used, name and residence of every driver
or other person engaged in carrying or selling said milk, and the
number of the license. Each licensee shall before engaging in the sale
of milk, cause his name, the number of his license, and his place of
business, to be legibly placed on each outer side of all carriages
or vehicles used by him in the conveyance and sale of milk, and he
shall report to the inspector or inspectors any change of driver or
other person employed by him which may occur during the term of his
license. Whoever, without being first licensed under the provisions
of this section, sells milk or exposes it for sale from carriages or
other vehicles, or has it in his custody or possession with intent so
to sell, and whoever violates any of the provisions of this section,
shall for a first offence be punished by fine of not less than thirty
nor more than one hundred dollars; for a second offence by fine of
not less than fifty nor more than three hundred dollars; and for a
subsequent offence by fine of fifty dollars and by imprisonment in the
house of correction for not less than thirty nor more than sixty days.
