   701.09 MISREPRESENTATIONS AS TO PARTY IN INTEREST.
   No person in applying for a license, or in the course of any investigation, inspection, hearing or other proceeding in respect thereof, shall represent that he is the genuine party in interest in such application or license, when in fact and in good faith he is not such, nor shall he represent that he is not the genuine party in interest therein when in fact and in good faith he is such, nor shall he in any way whatever misrepresent or state falsely any fact or circumstance in relation to any license or application therefor. (1931 Code §50.62651)
   701.10 REVOCATION.
   Any license issued by the City may be revoked at any time for conditions or considerations which, had they existed at the time of its issuance, would have been valid grounds for its denial; for any unsanitary or dangerous conditions existing on the premises or in the establishment for which the license was issued; or on account of any illegal practices or operations on the part of the licensee, in respect of or by means of such license. No such revocation shall be in effect until notice thereof is served upon the licensee, or posted at the premises affected, which notice shall state the reason for revocation. (1931 Code §50.6310)
   701.11 SUSPENSION.
   As a preliminary to revocation, any license issued by the City may be suspended by order of the Director of Finance, the Chief of Police, the City Manager or any officer having the power or duty of approving or disapproving applications for similar licenses, or of making investigations or inspections for such licenses. Any such suspension shall be put into effect by serving a notice thereof upon the licensee, which notice shall specify the reason for the suspension, and the period of time, in no case exceeding ten days, within which the conditions causing the suspension must be corrected, and shall state that unless such correction is made within such time the license will be revoked. (1931 Code §50.6320)
   701.12 RESTORATION.
   Upon a showing by a licensee whose license has been suspended that he has in good faith complied with all conditions at any time prior to the time specified in the notice of suspension, his license may be restored at any time, and shall in any case be restored at the expiration of the time specified in the notice of suspension. (1931 Code §50.6330)
   701.13 SURRENDER OF LICENSE .
   No person whose license has been suspended or revoked shall fail or refuse or neglect to surrender the license certificate to any officer entitled to demand it, and no person shall conceal or destroy any license certificate during the year for which such license was issued.
(1931 Code §50.6391)
   701.14 APPEAL; HEARING.
   In case any applicant is denied any license, or his application therefor is disapproved by any officer whose approval is requisite for its issuance, or the report upon any investigation or inspection requisite to a license is unfavorable, or any license is suspended or revoked, the applicant or licensee shall within three business days have the right to appeal to the City Manager from such denial, disapproval, unfavorable report, suspension or revocation, in such manner and upon such forms as the City Manager shall prescribe. Whenever application is made for any such appeal the Manager shall forthwith fix a time and place for hearing the same, not later than one week thereafter. Upon such hearing the applicant or licensee shall be heard in person or by counsel, to prove that his application should be granted or his license restored, and upon no other subject. Evidence may be heard in rebuttal of that offered by the appellant. The Manager shall render his decision within three days after the close of such hearing, either confirming the denial, disapproval, report, suspension, or revocation, or ordering the license to be issued or to be restored. Any order for the issuance or restoration of a license may stipulate as a condition thereof the correction of conditions to comply with requirements governing such licenses. Upon the final revocation of any license, the license certificate thereof shall be cancelled, and a record thereof made by the Director of Finance. A license which has been revoked shall not be renewed, nor shall another license be issued to the same person for the same business or occupation during the remainder of the year for which the revoked license was issued, unless the City Manager so orders. (1931 Code §50.6410)
   701.15 DISPLAY ON PREMISES.
   It shall be the duty of every person to whom any license is issued to post such license certificate in a prominent place upon the premises where the business or occupation for which such license was issued is carried on, and to keep such license certificate so posted so long as the business or occupation is carried on thereunder, and not to permit the license to be obscured or concealed in any way. The purpose of this section is to require such license to be readily visible at all times to persons lawfully present in such premises. In case of a suspension or revocation of any license the licensee shall surrender such license certificate to any police officer or to the officer serving notice of such suspension or revocation. (1931 Code §50.6610)
