No person shall engage in peddling in the Borough of Danville
without first acquiring a license as herein provided.
No license shall be issued under this chapter until a nonrefundable
fee of $25 (per person) has been paid to the Borough of Danville.
Each license shall be good for a period of five business days (defined
as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) from the date
of issue and shall be renewable upon application to the issuing agent,
as long as no complaints have been filed with the Police Department
regarding their permit.
Upon making application therefor and paying the proper fee,
as herein specified, a license shall be issued to each and every peddler.
Such license shall contain all of the required information. The peddler
shall, at all times while engaged in peddling in the Borough of Danville,
carry such license upon his person and shall exhibit such license,
upon request, to all police officers, Borough Officials, or citizens
within the Borough of Danville. No license under this chapter shall

licensed as a peddler under this chapter shall engage in peddling

not limited to, parades, conventions, or street fairs.
Danville Police Department shall keep a record of all licenses
issued under this chapter and shall supervise the activities of all
holders of such licenses.
The Chief of Police or his/her designee is hereby authorized
to suspend any and all licenses issued under this chapter to a person
or a group of persons when they deem such suspension to be beneficial
to the public health, safety or morals, or for violation of any of
the provisions of this chapter, or for giving false information upon
any application for a license hereunder.
Any person whose license has been suspended shall be entitled
to appear before the Borough Council at the next regular or special
meeting and be heard in behalf of a request for reinstatement of his
license. The Borough Council shall hear the licensee at that time,
if the licensee has given the Council at least five days' notice
in writing of his/her desire for a hearing. Otherwise, the Council
may hear the licensee at that time or may decline to hear the licensee
at that time, in which case it shall schedule a hearing within five
days from that date. Following the hearing, the Council may reinstate,
revoke or continue the suspension of the license for a period not
to exceed five years. No person shall be denied a license or have
his license suspended or revoked except by procedures consistent with
due process of law.
It shall be the duty of the Danville Borough Police Department
to enforce the terms of this chapter and secure compliance with the
requirements thereof.
