Upon the receipt of an application for a license or permit where

before the issuance of such permit or license, the Village Clerk shall
refer such application to the proper officer for making such investigation.
The officer charged with the duty of making the investigation or inspection
shall make a report thereon, favorable or otherwise, within 10 days
after receiving the application or a copy thereof. The health officer
shall make or cause to be made an inspection in regard to such licenses
in the connection with the care and handling of food, and the preventing
of nuisances and the spread of disease, for the protection of health.
The Building Inspector shall make or cause to be made any such inspections
relative to the construction of buildings or other structures. All
other investigations, except where otherwise provided, shall be made
by the Chief of Police or by some other officer designated by the
Mayor.
In the absence of provisions to the contrary, all fees and charges
for licenses or permits shall be paid in advance, at the time application
therefor is made, to the Village Clerk. When an applicant has not
engaged in business until after the expiration of part of the current
license year, the license fee shall be prorated by quarters and the
fee paid for each quarter or fraction thereof during which the business
has been or will be conducted. Except as otherwise provided, all license
fees shall become a part of the corporate fund.
No license shall be issued for the conduct of any business,
and no permit shall be issued for any thing or act, if the premises
and building to be used for the purpose do not fully comply with the
requirements of the Village.
All annual licenses shall terminate on the last day of the fiscal
year of the Village in which they are issued, when no provision to
the contrary is made. It shall be the duty of each person holding
a license to see that it is renewed each year.
Any license or permit for a limited time may be revoked by the
Mayor at any time during the life of such license or permit, for any
violation by the licensee or permittee of the ordinance provisions
relating to the license or permit, the subject matter of the license
or permit or to the premises occupied. Such revocation may be in addition
to any fine imposed.
It shall be the duty of any person conducting a licensed business
in the Village to keep his license posted at all times in a prominent
place on the premises used for such business.
No business, licensed or not, shall be so conducted or operated
as to amount to a nuisance in fact.
