(b) Issuance of License; Fee. Each application for a license for a mechanical amusement device shall be referred to the Chief of Police, who, when satisfied after investigation that the applicant is of good moral character, and that all prior taxes have been submitted and paid timely, shall endorse his approval on the application and return it to the Director of Public Safety. Thereupon and not otherwise, the Director of Public Safety may, upon the payment of an inspection fee in the amount of twenty dollars ($20.00) for each amusement device, issue to the applicant a license for such number of devices as have been requested and approved. The license shall be displayed at all times in a prominent place on the licensed premises. All licenses shall be issued for a period not to exceed one year and shall expire on January 21 of each year. If a license is issued for less than one year, the inspection fee shall be prorated on a quarterly basis. No person shall exhibit a greater number of devices than are authorized by the license issued for such premises. No license may be transferred from one location to another.
