Hawking, vending, peddling, soliciting orders
and the crying of goods, wares and merchandise, excepting the peddling
of meats, fruit, fish and farm produce by farmers and persons, who
produce such commodities, in the streets and public places and by
going from house to house within the corporate limits of the Village
of Holley, New York, by an individual, person, firm or corporation,
is prohibited without first obtaining a license and paying the license
fee therefor, as herein provided. There shall be excepted from the
provisions of this chapter, hawking and peddling by an honorably discharged
soldier, sailor or marine, who is crippled as the result of injuries
received while in the naval or military service of the United States,
or the holder of a license granted pursuant to § 32 of the
General Business Law.
No such license shall be issued without the
payment of a license fee of $10 per day, which said daily fee of $10
is hereby ordained and established therefor; and each such license
shall be issued by the Mayor of the Village specifying therein the
fee to be paid therefor, to such person, firm or corporation as he
shall deem fit and proper for such trade or occupation, but such license
shall be refused for any of the occupations above specified, which
shall, in the judgment of the Mayor, be likely to disturb the peace
and order of the Village. Every such license shall be countersigned
by the Clerk of the Village, who shall keep a record thereof and the
amount of the fee to be paid therefor; and upon presentation of such
license to the Treasurer of the Village, so signed and countersigned,
and payment of the fee to the Treasurer, the Treasurer shall endorse
thereon his receipt of the license fee. The license shall not take
effect until the receipt of the Treasurer shall have been endorsed
thereon. Any applicant who shall have been refused such license by
the Mayor may apply to the Board of Trustees therefor at a meeting
thereof and the same may be granted or refused by the Board. The Mayor
may suspend any such license until the next meeting of the Board of
Trustees and thereupon the license may be revoked or continued by
the Board.
Any individual, person, firm or corporation
who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall forfeit and
pay to the Village of Holley a penalty of $100 for each and every
offense to be recovered with the costs of suit.
In addition to the penalty above prescribed,
it is hereby ordained that the violation of this chapter shall constitute
disorderly conduct and that the person violating the same shall be
a disorderly person and that such person shall be a disorderly person.
