in which application is made.
Every application for a permit required in §

No permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be construed
to relieve any permittee from the duty to properly store and maintain
said merchandise in order not to endanger adjacent property or to
interfere with the operations of the Fire Department or egress of
occupants from said premises or adjacent premises in case of fire.
In no event shall any Christmas trees, wreaths, holly or other
