forclose any mortgage given thereiander and sell the mortgaged property, 

 and may sell any collateral deposited with him thereunder. He shall 

 first apply the siom recovered in any such action, or the proceeds of 

 the sale of any such mortgaged property or deposited collateral, or any 

 cash deposited as security toward the pa3rment of any claims of producers 

 filed and certified under this section, and, if the amount thereof is 

 more than sufficient to pay all such claims in fiill, shall pay any 

 balance remaining, after deducting all expenses, to the licensee or his 

 legal representative or sxorety or other person entitled thereto. In 

 any action taken upon a bond or other security filed under the provisions 

 of sections forty- two A and forty- two B, the certificate of the 

 commissioner in determining the amounts due shall be prima facie evidence 

 of the facts stated therein. 



Section 42D. If the business operation of any licensee is such that 

 the total value of milk received by him from producers in any pay period 

 exceeds the sum of his bond or other security filed under the provisions 

 of sections forty-two A and forty-two B, he shall advise the commissioner 

 thereof in writing not later than thirty days after the end of such pay 

 period. The commissioner may from time to time require a licensee to 

 file a statement of his assets, liabilities and disbursements covering 

 a period to be prescribed by the commissioner, including the names and 

 addresses of producers from whom the licensee receives milk and the amount 

 due to each such producer. Such statement shall be made under the 

 penalties of perjury by the licensee, if an individual, or, if the 

 licensee is a corporation, by its president and treasurer. If it appears 

 from such statement, or from facts otherwise ascertained by the 

 commissioner, that the security afforded to producers by bond, note, 

 mortgage or otherwise does not adequately protect them, the commissioner 

 may require the licensee to give, immediately or within such time as 

 the commissioner may fix, additional security in such sum as he shall 

 determine; provided however that the total amoijnt of security required 

 of such licensee shall not thereby be made to exceed by more than twenty- 

 five per cent the total value of milk received by the licensee from 

 producers during any pay period in the three months immediately preceding. 



Section 42E, If a licensee, or an applicant for a license, under 

 section forty- two A is himself a producer and, in addition to his own 

 production, receives from other producers not more than one himdred quarts 

 of milk, and if the commissioner is satisfied from an investigation of 

 the financial condition of the licensee or applicant that he is solvent 

 and possessed of sufficient assets reasonably to assure compensation to 

 his present and future creditors, the commissioner may, by an order filed 

 in the department of agriculture, relieve such applicant or licensee 

 from filing a bond or other security as hereinabove required. No bond 

 or other security shall be required of a cooperative association receiving 

 milk from producers who are also members, by virtue of a membership 

 agreement or contract in full force and effect, of such cooperative 

 association.
