(A) Any itinerant vender who shall desire to sell goods in the city shall file a state license and application for a local license with the City Clerk before offering or exposing for sale or selling, any goods, wares, or merchandise in the city and shall pay to the City Clerk a license fee for the privilege of such sale in such sum as shall be computed by the Supervisor of the city as provided in division (B) of this section. The application for a local license shall be made to the City Clerk in writing upon blanks furnished by him for that purpose and thereby signed and sworn to by the applicant and the applicant shall specify the kind and line of goods he intends to sell in the city, and of what his stock then consists, and of the value thereof, the name of the municipality from which the goods were last shipped and in which were last exposed for sale, the name and residence of the owners or parties in whose interest the business is conducted, and any other information as the City Clerk shall deem necessary.

(B) The City Clerk, when he shall have received the application in due form as provided in division (A) of this section, accompanied by the applicant's state license, shall give notice thereof to the supervisor of the city, who shall, as soon as practicable, examine the stock of goods of the applicant, and compute and certify to the Clerk the amount the applicant should pay as a local license fee, which amount shall be a percentage on the full value of the stock of goods equal to the rate per cent of the last preceding tax levy in the city for all purposes except for state and county purposes. The payment of license fee to the Clerk shall authorize the applicant, provided he has complied with all the requirements of this chapter and the law, to sell, within the limits of the city, such goods, wares or merchandise as are described in his application, and for that purpose to carry any stock in the city goods only of the kind and line specified in his application, and not to exceed in amount at any one time, the valuation on which his license fee was computed, and such license shall continue in force until the first day of May next following the date of application, and the license shall not be assignable or transferable in any manner whatsoever.
('77 Code, § 17.310)
(C) If the itinerant vender shall neglect or refuse to pay the local license fee as provided in division (B) of this section, the city shall have a lien on the stock of goods for the amount due on the local license fee, which may be enforced by suit within ten days from the time when the goods were first publicly offered or exposed for sale in the city, such suit to be brought and maintained as provided by statute.
