No person shall conduct, stage or give a circus, menagerie, carnival, sideshow, musical or minstrel entertainment or exhibition of monsters or freaks of nature, for which an admission fee or equivalent reward is demanded or received, without first obtaining a license therefor and paying the license fee provided in Section 852.02.
The applicant for a license to conduct, stage or give such exhibition shall give at least one week of notice in writing to the Chief of Police, stating the dates of the performances and the location at which they are to be presented. The Chief shall give his consent to the issuance of such license if he deems that the location is suitable for the purpose and of sufficient size to properly accommodate the patrons; that the nature of the performance or exhibition is morally proper; and that the use of such location will not put too great a burden upon the Police and Fire Divisions.
