[Ord. 325, 5/11/1960, § 5]
No license shall be issued under this Part until the operator of the parking lot for which such license is required shall have filed a bond, with proper corporate surety as may be prescribed by the Borough Council, for the protection of the public from loss of or damage to the vehicles parked, stored, or placed under the jurisdiction of such parking lot operator.

[Ord. 325, 5/11/1960, § 6]
No license shall be issued under this Part until an investigation shall be made by a person designated for such purpose by the Borough Council.

If the report of such investigation indicates that the facts contained in the license application are correct and the parking lot to which such application is applicable conforms in all respects to the requirements contained in this Part, the Borough Secretary shall issue the license therefor, if the bond, required by the § 13-505, shall have been filed, and the license fee paid. In any case where such investigation shall disclose any incorrectness in the application and/or any failure to comply with any of the requirements of this Part, the amendment of the application and/or evidence of compliance with all the requirements of this Part shall be required before the license shall be issued. Provided, in case of disagreement between any Borough official and any parking lot operator as to whether these conditions have been met, such operator may demand a hearing, within five days of such demand, from the Borough Council.
