Sec. 6. Nothing in this chapter shall be so construed as to prevent any person from ferrying passengers across a small stream in high water; and the board may authorize the auditor to give any person a permit for such purpose, when, in its opinion, the stream is too small to justify the expense of a license. When any person applies for a renewal of the person’s license at the same place where the person kept and maintained a ferry during the preceding year, upon payment of the license fee and filing of a new recognizance, executed and conditioned as above provided, the license may be granted or renewed without notice or formal application in writing.

Formerly: Acts 1881(ss), c.52, s.6. As amended by P.L.136-2018, SEC.78.
