Section 63
SEC. 63 Weighers shall be assigned to duty by surveyors. At ports where there is but one weigher, the assistant weighers shall be assigned to duty by him. He shall be held responsible for the correct and efficient discharge of their duties, and shall report to the surveyor any misconduct or neglect of duty on the part of any customs officer or employee. Weighers are required to be at the places to which they are assigned whenever weighable goods are being handled from vessels discharging cargo from foreign port. They are required to inspect and take copies of all permits in the hands of discharging inspectors of vessels, whenever the collectors have, by designating articles named in the permits, directed the said articles to be weighed; and weighers are required to have and exercise a personal supervision of the weighing of such merchandise. They must not absent themselves from their office or harbor district during the hours of business unless by permission, nor shall they allow any other than an assistant weigher to take weights or to handle the beam.
