[Amended 11-17-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-6]
A. Permit required. No person, either by himself or his agent, shall
distribute or peddle either from door to door or by handing to the
people in the public streets any handbills, newspapers, magazines,
cards or propaganda or literature of any kind without the written
permission of the Village Marshal or Village Clerk, but this section
shall not prohibit delivery of newspapers to subscribers thereof.
B. Permits issued. The Village Marshal or Village Clerk, upon being
satisfied that the matter intended for distribution shall contain
no obscene, indecent, or immoral literature or pictures, and upon
being satisfied that the person or persons doing the actual distributing
or peddling shall exercise due and proper care that such matter shall
not be thrown in the public streets or on private lawns, but shall
be securely placed at each door in such manner as will assure against
its being blown about and creating a public nuisance, shall issue
a written permit. Such permit shall describe generally the matter
to be distributed and shall name the person or persons who shall do
the actual distributing. The Village Marshal or Village Clerk may,
in his discretion, grant continuing or indeterminate permits for such
matters and to such persons as he may deem proper, which said permits
may be revoked by the Village Marshal or Village Clerk at any time
it appears that the distribution is not made in the manner described
in this section.
C. Recourse to the Village Board. Any person or persons who shall feel
aggrieved by the action of the Village Marshal or Village Clerk in
granting or refusing a permit may appeal to the Village Board.
