Text

The board of commissioners of every county of
thirty thousand (30,000) population or more shall, and the board of
commissioners of any county of less than thirty thousand (30,000)
population may appoint a county inspector of weights and measures.
No person shall be appointed as a county inspector of weights and
measures in any county unless such person shall have been approved
by the division of weights and measures of the Indiana department of
health, and no county inspector of weights and measures in any county
shall be removed by the board of commissioners without the approval
and consent of the division of weights and measures. The compensation
of a county inspector of weights and measures shall be determined by
the board and paid out of the county treasury. It shall not be obligatory
upon the board of county commissioners of such counties containing
a city or cities which are already provided with an inspector of weights
and measures or city sealers to make such appointments. The board
shall provide the necessary apparatus and supplies for the said
inspector of weights and measures and the county councils of such
counties shall appropriate such sums of money as are necessary for the
salary and maintenance of the office. Two (2) or more adjoining
counties, by appropriate action of the boards of commissioners of such
counties, may form an inspection district and provide by mutual
agreement for the appointment of a district inspector of weights and
measures. The compensation of such inspector shall be apportioned
among the counties forming the district in proportion to the population
thereof.
