8-03-10. Perishable property - When sale permitted
A carrier, in the exercise of a reasonable discretion, may sell any perishable property which
has been transported to its destination, at public or private sale without advertising, if the
consignee, on being notified of its arrival, refuses or neglects to receive the same and pay the
legal charges thereon, or if upon diligent inquiry, the carrier is unable to find the consignee. The
proceeds of such sale, after deduction of the freight charges and expenses of sale, must be
paid to the owner or consignee upon demand.
