The Florida Senate

523.13  Supervisor; inspection fees and compensation.--The supervising inspector of naval stores shall receive as compensation for his or her services one-half cent for each drum or barrel of rosin of approximately 500 pounds each, and for each 50 gallons of spirits of turpentine which may be inspected by inspectors appointed under the laws of this state, upon notice given as provided in s. 523.15, and liability for said fee shall be divided equally between the buyer and seller of such naval stores. In case of naval stores shipped in packages or receptacles other than barrels, the supervising inspector's compensation shall be reckoned upon a basis of barrels or fractions thereof in the same manner as is provided for the payment of fees of inspectors under like conditions. The supervising inspector of naval stores shall have the right to recover from any person or corporation liable therefor the fees allowed him or her under this chapter in an action of assumpsit, or any other appropriate proceedings in any of the courts of this state having jurisdiction thereof.
