No person shall distribute mechanical amusement devices, jukeboxes or cigarette vending machines within the corporate limits by lease, conditional sale or any financial conditional method, a distributor also being known as an operator, without first having obtained a distributor’s license therefor from the Mayor upon payment of the annual license fee of $100. This license fee shall be for the fiscal year beginning January 1 of the calendar year or for any unexpired portion of any such fiscal year. Nothing in this section shall be intended to prohibit any person or the owner of a place of business to purchase such mechanical amusement device outright from any source, provided compliance is made for the annual license as herein set forth and upon presentation of a bill of sale therefor.
