(a) A person commits an offense if he operates a billiard hall between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., Monday through Saturday, and between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 12 noon on Sunday, unless authority to operate on a 24 hour basis has been granted by the chief of police and the letter so stating is displayed in a conspicuous place at or near the entrance to the billiard hall.
(b) A person who holds a billiard hall license may apply to operate 24 hours each day. Authority to operate 24 hours each day shall not be granted if the sale or service of alcoholic beverages on the billiard hall premises provides more than 50 percent of the gross revenue derived from all business activities conducted on the premises. Approval to operate on a 24 hour basis will be by a letter signed by the chief of police or his designated representative, and will show the name of the license holder and the address of the billiard hall. The letter will be displayed in the same location and manner as the billiard hall license and shall be valid for the same period of time as the billiard hall license. (Ord. 15552)
