[Adopted 6-22-1954 by G.O. No. 31-1954; amended in its entirety 7-2-1991 by G.O. No.
15-1991]
An honorably discharged soldier, sailor or marine holding a
license to hawk, peddle, vend and sell goods, wares or merchandise
or solicit trade upon the streets and highways within the County of
Westchester, issued pursuant to the provisions of § 32 of
the General Business Law of the State of New York by the County Clerk
of said County of Westchester, must file a further application for
a license to act as hawker, peddler or solicitor within the corporate
limits of the City of Yonkers with the City Clerk of the City of Yonkers.
Any such former soldier, sailor or marine who has resided for
a period of at least six months immediately prior to such application
in the City of Yonkers may present to the Director his original certificate
of honorable discharge or a copy thereof duly certified by the recording
officer or a certificate in lieu of lost discharge which shall show
that the person presenting it is a veteran of any war or that the
veteran has served overseas in the Armed Forces of the United States.
An application form shall be accompanied by two personal photographs
taken within a period of 30 days. One of said photographs shall be
attached to the license applied for, and the other shall be filed
with the Director. The veteran shall also fill out a blank which shall,
when filled out, state his or her name and residence at the time of
application and for six months immediately prior thereto, the nature
of the goods to be sold and, if the applicant is working on commission
or percentage for any person, firm or corporation, the name and business
address of such person, firm or corporation. This statement shall
be signed and sworn to by the applicant in the presence of the Director,
and the name on this application and on the original certificate of
honorable discharge shall be compared by the Director to ascertain
if the person so applying is the same person named in the original
certificate of honorable discharge. The Director when so satisfied
shall issue, without cost, to such former soldier, sailor or marine
a license permitting the veteran to act as hawker, peddler or solicitor
within the corporate limits of the City of Yonkers. All licenses issued
hereunder shall expire on June 30 next after the date of issuance.[1]
