or keep a shop for the purchase, sale, resale, barter, or taking on
consignment of junk, secondhand goods, or antiques without a license
issued by the Town Administrator.
The Town Administrator may suspend or revoke a license issued
under this chapter, after a hearing, if he finds that the licensee
has violated or permitted a violation of any provision of this chapter
or any other provision of the Town of Franklin Code directly applicable
to the operation of the licensee's business or any condition
of the license or if he finds that the licensee has been convicted
of any crime involving theft of property or if he finds that the licensee's
continued operation will substantially derogate from the public health,
safety or welfare.
A violation of any provision of this chapter will result in
a fine of $100 for each offense; each day that the violation continues
shall constitute a separate offense.
The Town Administrator or his designee, the Franklin Police
Chief and Fire Chief or their designees, the Building Commissioner
and the Board of Health Agent are each authorized to enforce the provisions
of this chapter.
