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

stating the name of the person and the place for which such license
is desired. Each license shall be filed by the City Clerk and shall
name the licensee and the place wherein he/she is authorized to conduct
such business, and the same shall not be delivered until the applicant
shall pay to the City Clerk a license fee set by the Common Council.
Licenses for the sale, exchange, barter, disposition of, or
giving away or keeping for sale of any cigarette, cigarette paper
or cigarette wrappers or any substitute therefor shall be issued by
the City Clerk. 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.
