Sec. 6. Only those persons shall be eligible to appointment to the position of county or city inspectors of weights and measures who on March 9, 1925, are county or city sealers or inspectors of weights and measures or who have passed an examination which shall be given by the division of weights and measures of the Indiana department of health to test the ability of the person so examined to perform satisfactorily the duties of a county or city inspector of weights and measures.

Any county or city inspector of weights and measures discharged as provided in this section shall be ineligible to hold the position of county or city inspector of weights and measures for four (4) years, and the vacancy shall be filled by the proper authorities as provided in this chapter.
