Section 71. Registration of mark; defacing mark; seizure

Any person owning
  milk cans, jars, bottles, bottle cases or carton cases upon which he has
  placed or desires to place any designating mark may  register  the  said
  designating mark with the commissioner, who shall keep a record thereof,
  and  he  may also register with the commissioner, from time to time, the
  number of such cans, jars, bottles, bottle cases or carton cases,  which
  he  has  or is to have, which do or may bear such designating mark. Such
  cans, jars, bottles, bottle  cases  or  carton  cases  may,  after  such
  registration  be numbered consecutively and such consecutive numbers may
  be registered in the department, as above provided, with the designating
  mark.  If any such can, jar, bottle, bottle case or carton case, bearing
  such designating mark, shall be found in possession of, and  being  used
  by  any  person  other  than the one so registering the same it shall be
  presumptive evidence of a violation of the provisions of  this  article,
  unless  such  person has the consent of the owner thereof to so have and
  use the same.
    No person, except  the  original  owner  thereof,  or  a  person  duly
  authorized  by  him  so  to do, shall remove, deface or erase any of the
  marks upon the cans, jars, bottles, bottle cases or carton cases  herein
  provided for.
    When  the  commissioner,  or  any person duly authorized by him, shall
  find any such cans, jars, bottles, bottle cases or carton cases, bearing
  such registered designating mark, in the possession of or being used  by
  another  person  than  the  owner thereof, he may seize the same, and if
  evidence is produced in three days showing that  such  person  had  been
  given  permission  to have or use such cans, jars, bottles, bottle cases
  or carton cases, then they shall be delivered by  the  commissioner,  or
  his  agents,  to  the person from whom taken, otherwise the commissioner
  shall notify the owner of such cans,  jars,  bottles,  bottle  cases  or
  carton cases, that he has the same and upon application deliver the same
  to such owner.
