requested, shall be submitted to the commissioner. Such record shall be

open to inspection by the commissioner or by federal, state and local

enforcement officers at all times. No person shall have in his or her

evidence of title thereto.

2. Any provision in this article to the contrary notwithstanding, no

person in a city having more than one million inhabitants shall ship or

commissioner a statement in writing giving the weight, name or brand and

type of explosives, the name and address of the person to whom such

explosives are to be sold, shipped, transported or delivered and the
