No person, firm or corporation shall be granted
a county livery license or be an officer of a firm, company or corporation

of a livery.
The holder of a livery license shall be permitted
to renew the license annually, provided that he complies with all
the provisions of this chapter. The application for such renewal must
be filed with the County Clerk not later than the 30th day of June
of each successive license year. If the application for renewal is
not made within this time, the holder will be deemed to have abandoned
the license. The Sheriff shall notify the holder, in writing, by registered
mail, return receipt requested, of the abandonment of a livery license.
A holder so notified will be given 10 days to request, in writing,
a hearing to show why the livery license should not be deemed abandoned.
Upon a showing of good cause, the Sheriff may waive the abandonment.
