Delinquent taxes are hereby defined as taxes due from previous years.
Upon receipt of departmental reports certifying that the premises,
operation or device conforms with all Town codes, the Town Clerk shall
issue a renewal of the license for the term as specified. The Town
Clerk shall file a monthly report with the Town Council, listing the

§ II]
Whenever the Town Council shall reject or refuse to grant the
application for a license, the applicant whose application has been
rejected shall not apply again for such license at any time within
one year thereafter.
Before any license so granted shall be delivered to the applicant,
the license fee shall be paid to the Town Clerk, who shall pay the
same to the Town Treasurer.
All licenses granted under this article shall be signed by the
Mayor and Town Clerk.
