„The Excise Technical Office, after receipt of the declaration, shall check and seal the installations and machinery ; it may further order, at the manufacturer’s expense, any works it deems necessary for the safeguard of fiscal interests.
On the grounds of the results of the aforesaid checking, the Excise Technical Office shall issue an operation-licence subject to payment of the following annual duty :
a)	L. 2.000 for the artisan factories referred to in Article VTI of Order No. 98, dated 23 May 1952, as well as for silk spinning mills (irrespective of the number of „baci-nelle“ installed) and for hemp hand-spinning mills ;
b)	L. 10.000 for factories where the number of spindles or spinning jets installed does not exceed 20.000 ;

The reduction contemplated by the foregoing paragraph shall also be due when one or more spinning machines remain idle for not less than three consecutive Working days.
By the term „spinning-mill“ there shall be understood the whole of the spinning sections (one or more) contained in the same factory-area.
A complete spinning section shall be constituted by any section of the factory — within the same area — containing machinery installations fit for a complete independent production of a certain type of yarn, or by a combination of spinning machines which, by reason of the particular type of machinery and production, work independently of the rest of the factory ; for the purposes of the reduction provided for by this Article, the group of spinning machines for combed yarns shall be considered to be distinct from that for carded yarns and, in combed-yarn and carded-yarn spinning, the group of self-acting spinners from the group of continuous spinning machines (ring-spinners, „filatoi a campana“, „filatoi ad aletta“).
In flax or hemp spinning mills, wet-spinning and dry spinning shall also be considered to be distinct complete sections.
The various sections shall be separated from each other by fixed partitions to be approved by the Finance Administration.“
The Finance Administration shall have the power to install in spinning mills liable to duty appropriate meters for the purpose of recording the production of yams.
Such meters shall be in direct and stable connection with the feeding-shaft to the spinning-machine spindles of the wicks coming from the dividing gear or with the last feeding-shaft to the spinning-machine spindles of the wicks coming from the frame or from the preparation, by the French system, of combed wool.
