[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Hebron 11-9-1987 as Title VIII,
§ F of the 1987 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Pursuant to General Statutes §§ 21-27
and 21-37, public vendors and peddlers shall be licensed. Except as
hereinafter specified, no person, firm, partnership or corporation
shall, within the Town of Hebron, peddle, sell, vend, hawk or solicit
the sale, either present or future, of any goods, wares or other merchandise
upon the streets, highways and public places within the limits of
the Town of Hebron, or from place to place within the limits of the
Town, without first having been duly licensed to do so by license
issued to him by the Town Clerk upon paying to said officer the license
fee prescribed herein.
Every such peddler or solicitor, before engaging
in such business, shall make application therefor in writing to the
Town Manager on blank forms to be supplied by the Town Clerk, which
application shall be reviewed by the resident state trooper or, in
his absence, his authorized representative. The application shall
be in writing and state the name of the licensee, the nature of the
business for which it is granted, and the date of its beginning and
its expiration. Such certificate shall not be issued prior to the
fifth day after application and payment of the required license fee
unless such waiting period shall be waived in writing by the Town
Manager, in which case the license may be issued immediately or at
such other time within the five-day period as the Town Manager may
direct.
The license certificate issued shall be exhibited
for inspection to any person with whom the licensee attempts or offers
to do business and to any proper officer upon demand.
The fee for every such peddler shall be $3 for
one day or $20 for a period of six months from the date of issue.
Licenses shall be effective from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily to the
date of expiration. Residents of the Town who have resided within
the Town of Hebron continuously for six months or more shall be exempted
from payment of a fee for such license.
This chapter shall not apply to such persons
as are by the laws of the State of Connecticut exempt or be construed
to prohibit or to require a license for sales by farmers or gardeners
of produce from their farms or gardens, nor for the sale and distribution
of milk, tea or coffee, spices, bakery goods, fish, meats or other
food products, or to vendors of wares or merchandise of residents
of the Town of Hebron sold by the maker of or manufacturer thereof,
nor shall the provisions hereof apply to children under 16 years of
age who are residents of the Town of Hebron.
Any person, firm, partnership or corporation
who or which shall violate any provision of this chapter shall be
fined not more than $150, and every sale made in violation of the
provisions herein shall constitute a separate offense.
