[Amended 9-25-1986]
It shall be unlawful for any person to hawk,
peddle or, as an itinerant vendor, sell or offer for sale any goods,
wares, merchandise or produce of any kind or description or any articles
whatsoever without first obtaining a license from the Clerk of the
Borough for such purpose and paying therefor a license fee of $50.
Such license shall permit the holder thereof to use one cart, automobile
or wagon; for every additional cart, automobile or wagon used by the
holder of such license, he shall pay an additional fee of $25.

the applicant, giving his residence and business address and a description
of each cart, automobile or wagon to be used by him in said business.
B.
Upon the payment of such license fee or fees, the
Borough Clerk is hereby authorized to issue the license applied for,
and, if application for an additional cart, automobile or wagon is
applied for, a description of any and all such vehicles to be used
by the licensee shall be set forth in the license.
All licenses shall expire on the 31st day of

be revoked, such license shall be inoperative and of no effect.
[Amended 9-25-1986]
If an applicant for one or more licenses shall
desire the same for a limited period only, the Mayor and Council to
whom the application may be made for such license may grant the same
for such limited time and require the person or persons to whom the
same shall be granted to pay such proportionate part of the license
fee hereinbefore fixed by the Mayor and Council in each particular
case as shall be deemed equitable, just and proper, but in no case
shall a license be granted for a fee of less than $25.
