or his family.
The Board created by § 468-1 shall have authority to grant such licenses to any person of good repute for morals and integrity who is or has declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States.
No license shall be issued until the applicant
has presented a certificate from the Sealer of Weights and Measures
to the effect that all weights, scales and measures to be used by
him in the sale of meats, butter, cheese, fish and fresh fruits or
vegetables have been tested and sealed according to law.
A.
Every license granted under this article shall contain
the date of issuance, the number thereof, the name and residence,

fish and fresh fruits and vegetables.

A copy of this article shall be printed on every license.
Every license issued under the provisions of
this article shall continue in effect for one year from the date of
its issuance.

to the provisions of this article shall be $1.
Every license issued pursuant to the provisions of this article may be revoked by the Board created by § 468-1 for violation of any of its terms.
Nothing in this article shall be construed as
conflicting with any license issued under the authority of the commonwealth.
Every licensee shall forthwith report to the
Licensing Board any change of drivers or other persons who may be
employed by him during the term of his license in the conveyance and
sale of meats, butter, cheese, fish and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Every vehicle or receptacle used by a licensee
as a conveyance for articles offered or exposed for sale by him shall
have attached thereto, on each outer side, a number plate, to be furnished
by the Sealer of Weights and Measures at cost, such number plate bearing
the number and date of expiration of such license.
Every licensee shall wear in a conspicuous place,
upon the outside of his outer garment, a badge showing the number
and date of expiration of his license, which badge shall be provided
by the Sealer of Weights and Measures at cost.
