No permit authorized by this chapter shall be
granted except pursuant to an application in writing therefor, signed
by the person desiring such permit, or his agent, which application
shall set forth such facts as the officer authorized to grant such
permit shall require, and when forms for such application are furnished
by the Mayor and Council, it shall be upon such forms and shall set
forth all the information required.
The officer authorized by this chapter to issue
any permit is also authorized to refuse the issue of any such permit
if in his opinion such refusal is in the interest of the public safety,
public convenience or public health. In case any permit shall be refused
by any such officer, an appeal of such officer's determination may
be taken to the Mayor and Council, and the Mayor and Council, after
hearing the applicant and such officer and such other evidence as
may be produced, may either direct the issuance of such permit or
sustain the refusal of the officer.
No permit granted in pursuance of the provisions
of this chapter shall create any vested rights, but such permit may
be revoked at any time by the officer issuing it. Such revocation
may be appealed to the Mayor and Council for its final determination.
No permit shall be issued until the fee therefor
shall have been paid to the officer authorized to issue such permit,
for the use of the Mayor and Council.
