containers manufactured outside of this state, the fee or fees shall

apply and become due upon delivery to the vendors, or for their

a system of identification of containers on which the fees herein

levied have been paid.

C. No person, firm or corporation shall use or install in this

within the specified time, there shall be assessed a penalty of

twenty-five percent (25%), which shall be added to the applicable

fee.
