In addition to his powers and duties as City Clerk, the City
Clerk shall also be the Commissioner of Licenses and, except as otherwise
provided by law or ordinance, shall, as such Commissioner of Licenses,
sign all licenses and enter in an appropriate book the name of every
person to whom a license shall be granted, the date and particulars
thereof and the sum paid therefor. At the end of each week he shall
pay the amount so received. Where otherwise provided by law, the City
Clerk shall perform such duties in his capacity as City Clerk.
Any license issued under any ordinance heretofore adopted which
provides for the issuance of said license by the City Clerk shall
henceforth be signed by the Commissioner of Licenses irrespective
of whether the application for such license is required to be made
to the City Clerk.
This article shall take effect upon its approval by the Board
of Estimate and Contract.
