§891. Scales for weighing grain; order of grinding
The owner or occupant of every grist mill shall keep scales and weights therein to weigh corn, grain and meal, when required. He shall well and sufficiently grind as required, according to the nature, capacity and condition of his mill, all grain brought to his mill for that purpose and in the order in which it shall be received. For neglecting or refusing to weigh the same when required, or failing to grind the same in the order received, or for taking more than lawful toll, he commits a civil violation for which a forfeiture of not less than $10 nor more than $50 shall be adjudged for each violation. This section shall not be so construed as to preclude the right of any owner or occupant of any mill to enter into any mutual agreement with any customer or customers as to the order in which the grain of such customers shall be received and ground, made at the time said customer or customers shall bring his or their grain to the mill for the purpose of being ground. [PL 1977, c. 696, §346 (AMD).]
