Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 34, § 249. Fees

The board of commissioners is authorized to charge a reasonable fee to each vessel arriving in ballast or carrying cargo of any kind. It may also charge for each copy of any certificate issued by the board or its deputies for inspecting hatches, surveying cargoes and the like. The master of each vessel shall, however, be furnished free one copy of all surveys upon his vessel or cargo.
