Every such application shall be in duplicate, or in as many copies as the Director of Finance requires; shall state clearly the nature of the license applied for; shall state the correct location of the premises on which the business or occupation to be licensed is to be carried on; shall state any further facts required by the ordinance in respect of such license, and any further facts required by the Director of Finance relative to circumstances or conditions pertinent to the right of the applicant to obtain a license; shall give the name and address of at least two residents of the City to whom the applicant is known as references, unless in the case of application for renewal of any license the Director of Finance waives such requirement; and shall be signed by the applicant, or in case of a corporation or firm, by an officer thereof authorized so to do. A single application may at the discretion of the Director of Finance be made for the issuance of two or more licenses of the same kind, for separate establishments owned or operated by the same applicant. The applicant shall, at the time of filing his application, tender the proper fee or fees. In the case of licenses for which approval or inspection by any officer is required as a condition of issuance, and in which it is so required by the Director of Finance or by the City Manager, no such application shall be received until such approval or a satisfactory report of such inspection is properly entered upon such application by the officers concerned. (1931 Code §50.6110)
701.06 ISSUANCE OF LICENSES; INVESTIGATION.
Upon receipt of any application for a license, accompanied by the proper fee, the Director of Finance, if no approval nor any inspection by any officer required as a condition of issuing the license is yet to be secured or made, shall forthwith issue to the applicant the proper license, and turn the fee in to the Treasury.
If any approval or inspection by any officer required as a condition of issuing the license is yet to be made, the Director of Finance shall hold the fee as a deposit, and shall notify the officer or officers concerned, who shall forthwith make any investigations or inspections required in the circumstances, and report thereon with a statement of approval or disapproval as each case shall require. In case the report is satisfactory or the approval is given, the Director of Finance shall thereupon issue the license and turn the deposit in to the Treasury. In case the report is unsatisfactory or the application is disapproved the Director of Finance shall notify the applicant, and shall return deposit upon demand of the applicant therefor.
The issuance of the license shall be effected by the execution and delivery to the licensee of a proper license certificate in a form determined by the Director of Finance, and over his signature. The Director of Finance shall make an adequate record of all licenses issued.
