[Amended 12-9-2003, effective 12-19-2003]
The Commissioner of Permit and Inspection Services shall have
power, in his discretion, to issue a license, without charge, or to
grant permission to any person to sell fresh fish from any vehicle
of any kind, whenever in his judgment such license or permission will
promote the public welfare. Such license or permission shall be granted
for such length of time and subject to such reasonable conditions
as the Commissioner of Permit and Inspection Services may prescribe.
No person, firm or corporation which shall not have obtained
a license so to do shall sell or offer or expose for sale from the
railroad cars in any of the railroad terminals within the limits of
the City of Buffalo any fresh fruits or vegetables or Christmas trees.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to sales of car lots
in bulk nor to sales of less than car lots by persons, firms or corporations
having stores leased or owned by them within the limits of the City
of Buffalo for the regular transaction of business as dealers in such
commodities.
A.
No person, firm or corporation, except resident taxpayers, or those
having an established place of business for that purpose in the City
of Buffalo, New York, shall directly, or through any agent or solicitor,
go from place to place soliciting orders to take photographs of any
person, object or place or to copy, enlarge or reproduce by any photographic
process any picture or photograph without first having obtained a
license so to do from the Commissioner of Permit and Inspection Services.
[Amended 12-9-2003, effective 12-19-2003]
B.
Any person, firm or corporation desiring to engage in any of the
activities above mentioned shall apply in writing to the Commissioner
of Permit and Inspection Services for a license therefor, giving the
name and address of the applicant, a description of the particular
business intended to be carried on, his experience and the nature
of the proposed business and such other information in reference to
the applicant as the Commissioner of Permit and Inspection Services
shall require to determine the character, responsibility and ability
of the applicant. No person of notoriously bad character shall be
granted a license.
[Amended 12-9-2003, effective 12-19-2003]
C.
For each order solicited and received, the licensee or his representative
shall deliver to the customer a receipt in writing signed by the licensee
and the solicitor, stating, in substance, the work to be done, the
date on or before which the completed work is to be delivered, the
total amount to be paid by the customer and the amount paid on account,
if any. The receipt shall also show the number of the license issued
to the solicitor or to his principal.
