(b)
(1) If a warehouseman operates one (1) or more warehouses in the same city or town in conjunction with each other, if only one (1) set of books is kept for all the warehouses and scale tickets, and if warehouse receipts and checks of but one (1) series are issued for grain received or stored therein, then only one (1) license and bond shall be required for the operation of all the warehouses. In these cases, the license fee prescribed in this section shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate capacity of all warehouses operated by the licensee.
