It shall hereafter be unlawful for any person, association,
partnership or corporation to engage in the business of buying or
selling old metal, junk or other secondhand articles anywhere within
the Town of Orangetown without first having obtained a license so
to do from the Town Clerk of the Town of Orangetown, which license
shall run from January 1 to December 31, inclusive, in each year,
and shall cost the sum of $150.
Where a junk dealer operates more than one vehicle in connection
with such business, a separate license shall be obtained and a separate
license fee paid for each vehicle so operated.
No license shall be issued to a person who has heretofore been
convicted of a crime or a violation of Article 6 of the General Business
Law of the State of New York, nor to any person hereafter convicted
of such an offense.
Each license will be separately numbered, and upon receiving
a license each applicant will be required to display the number of
such license in a prominent position upon the vehicle for which the
license has been issued and to carry the license with him at all times.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent or supersede
the right of the Town Board to enforce obedience to this ordinance
by injunction.
This ordinance shall take effect immediately.
