   (b.) Every vehicle engaged in heavy traffic on any road within the county and drawn by means of bullocks, notwithstanding that such vehicle may separately or together with any load thereon weigh less than one and a half tons avoirdupois.

Excepting in all cases the following vehicles and machines to which this by-law shall not apply, that is to say:—
(1.) Any cart while being used by any farmer for transporting the produce of or manure for his own farm.

4. On payment of the license fee for one year on any vehicle or machine in accordance with the foregoing table, such vehicle or machine shall be deemed to be licensed under this by-law for one year from the date of such payment; but any person, if he so elects, may, in lieu of paying the license fee payable for a year in respect of any vehicle or machine, pay one-fourth, one-half, or three-fourths of the amount of such fee in accordance with the foregoing table, and on payment of any such proportion thereof the vehicle or machine in respect of which such payment is made shall thereupon be deemed to be licensed under this by-law either for one-quarter, one-half, or three-quarters of a year according to the proportion of fee paid.
5. Every such payment as aforesaid shall be made to the County Clerk at the county offices, Mosgiel, and a license for the vehicle or machine in respect of which the payment is made shall thereupon be issued by the Clerk under his signature specifying the amount paid, the period for which it is paid, and the kind of and other means of identifying the vehicle or machine, and the mode of traction thereof, and in case of vehicles the number of wheels thereof, and every such license shall be numbered, and shall be prima facie evidence of the contents thereof.

8. If the County Clerk or any person authorised in this behalf in writing under the seal of the county is of opinion that any vehicle or machine infringes this by-law, he may request the driver thereof to stop the same, and the driver shall stop the same forthwith until the weight of such vehicle or machine, or the load thereon, or the weight or measurement of the contents thereof, can be ascertained, and in default of the driver so doing he shall be guilty of an offence under this by-law, and, further, such Clerk or other person may thereupon stop and detain such vehicle or machine until the weight thereof, or the load thereon, or the weight or measurement of the contents, can be ascertained.
9. The driver of any vehicle or machine so stopped shall truly answer all such questions as such Clerk or other authorised person shall reasonably put him as to the load or contents of such vehicle or machine; and the quantity, weight, size, or measurement of the same, and permit the Clerk or other person to mount such vehicle or machine for the purpose of verifying any answers given to him or for ascertaining the quantity, weight, size, or measurement aforesaid, and the driver thereof shall do all things necessary to cause the vehicle or machine to be stopped while such Clerk or other person is engaged in his functions under this clause of this by-law.
