No license shall be issued for a distress merchandise sale unless there is filed with the Treasurer a bond conditioned upon the faithful observance of all of the provisions of this chapter and the indemnifying of any purchaser at such sale who suffers any loss by reason of any misrepresentation made in connection with such sale, and authorizing actions thereunder by the City for the violation of any provision of this chapter, and by any purchaser at such sale for damage or loss suffered by him by reason of any misrepresentation made in connection with such sale. The amount of such bond shall be determined as follows:
Ten percent of the first one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) of the inventory cost of all the goods, wares and merchandise to be offered at sale; five percent on the next four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000); and two percent on the balance. Such bond shall be approved as to form by the Solicitor and as to sufficiency by the Treasurer.
