No person, firm or corporation shall, in any manner, directly
or indirectly, upon any premises, or by any device, sell, exchange,
barter, dispose of or give away, or keep for sale, any cigarette,
cigarette paper or cigarette wrappers, or any substitute therefor,
without first obtaining a license as hereinafter provided.
Every person, firm or corporation desiring a license under this
chapter shall file with the City Clerk-Treasurer a written application
therefor, stating the name of the person and the place for which such
license is desired. Each license shall be filed by the City Clerk-Treasurer
and shall name the licensee and the place wherein he is authorized
to conduct such business, and the same shall not be delivered until
the applicant shall pay to the City Clerk-Treasurer a license fee
in the amount designated by the Common Council on the schedule on
file with the office of the City Clerk-Treasurer.
Licenses for the sale, exchange, barter, disposition of, or
giving away or keeping for sale of cigarettes, cigarette paper or
cigarette wrappers or any substitute therefor shall be issued by the
City Clerk-Treasurer. Each license shall be issued with an effective
date of July 1 (but may be issued by the City prior to that date),
or thereafter whenever applied for, and shall continue in force from
date of issuance until the succeeding June 30, unless sooner revoked
for any violation of this chapter.
