No permittee or anyone acting in his or her behalf shall shout, make any outcry, blow a horn, ring a bell, or use any other sound device including any loud speaking radio or amplifying system upon any of the streets, alleys, parks, or other public places of the City or upon any private premises in the City where sound of sufficient volume is emitted or produced therefrom capable of being plainly heard upon the streets, avenues, alleys, or parks, or other public places, for the purpose of attracting attention to any goods, wares, or merchandise which such permittee proposes to sell.

No peddler shall have any exclusive right to any location in the public streets, nor shall any be permitted a stationary location (unless otherwise provided) or be permitted to operate in any congested area where his or her operations might impede or inconvenience the public.

None of the fees provided for by this Chapter shall be so applied as to occasion an undue burden upon interstate commerce. In any case where a fee is believed by a solicitor to place an undue burden upon such commerce, he or she may apply to the Finance Director for an adjustment of the fee so that it shall not be discriminatory, unreasonable, or unfair as to such commerce. Such application may be made before, at, or within six months after payment of the prescribed fee. The applicant shall, by affidavit and supporting testimony, show his or her method of business and the gross volume or estimated gross volume of business and such other information as the Finance Director may deem necessary in order to determine the extent, if any, of such undue burden on such commerce. The Finance Director shall then conduct an investigation, comparing applicant's business with other businesses of like nature and shall make findings of fact from which he or she shall determine whether the fee is unfair, unreasonable, or discriminatory as to the applicant's business and shall fix as the business license fee for the applicant, an amount that is fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory, or, if the fee has already been paid, shall order a refund of the amount over and above the fee so fixed. Any person aggrieved by the action of the Finance Director under this section may appeal to the City Manager.
Before any permit may be issued to an itinerant merchant, the applicant must deposit with the Finance Director the sum of Fifty dollars in lawful money of the United States, which deposit shall be retained as a guaranty that the premises occupied by such applicant shall be left in a clean condition. Upon presentation of a certificate to be issued by the Building Inspector that said premises are clean, such deposit may be refunded to applicant, otherwise, the same shall be retained by the City and expended to clean said premises.
