It is intended that the terms "license" or "permit," wherever
used herein, be synonymous if, in the interpretation of any part hereof,
such synonym is required to carry out the manifest intent and purpose
of this code.
All applications for licenses or permits shall be made at the
office of the Board during regular office hours, and the fees for
every license or permit shall be paid in advance at the time of making
the application therefor.
The granting of any license or permit may be withheld, at the
direction of the Board, pending examination, investigation or inspection
of the person who, or the premises which, may be the subject matter
of the license or permit under consideration.
All licenses or permits issued under any of the several chapters
of this code shall be valid only for the balance of the licensing
year in which they are issued, unless otherwise herein provided, except
a new license or permit issued in March shall be issued for that month
and the following year. The licensing year shall run from April 1
until the following March 31. No license or permit shall be transferable
or assignable.
The Board shall evidence the granting of any license or permit
issued by furnishing to the licensee or permittee a suitable card,
sign, placard, disc, plate or other writing which shall convey information
concerning the nature of such license or permit, the serial number
of the same, name of the person to whom the same has been issued,
the year in which the same is so issued, the premises or vehicle so
licensed, if that be material or required, and such other information
as the Board may deem pertinent.
