§ 12-26  EXEMPTION FROM REQUIREMENT FOR OPERATOR’S LICENSE.
   The owner who actually owns and operates any mechanical amusement or cigarette vending machine device in his own place of business shall not be required to take out an operator’s license, but shall be required to take out a machine license for each amusement or cigarette vending machine device used. However, such any owner who owns and operates any mechanical amusement or cigarette vending machine device in his own place of business, shall file an affidavit with the City Clerk setting forth that he is the actual, bona fide owner of the amusement or cigarette vending machine device and receives all the benefits from the operation thereof and that no other person has any actual or beneficial interest therein, either directly or indirectly.
   In the case of any mechanical amusement device the owner shall have no right to place mechanical amusement devices in his own place of business during the period of suspension of such right as set forth in §§ 12-32 and 12-35 hereof.
