   No person shall operate a public roller skating rink within the limits of the Municipality without first obtaining a permit therefor from the Director of Finance. Such permit may be revoked at any time. Such permit may be limited as to time within the discretion of the Mayor, but in no event shall it extend beyond one year from the date of issuance. Such permit may be renewed from time to time.

(Ord. 854. Passed 10-2-40.)

(Ord. 854. Passed 10-2-40.)

854.06 REVOCATION OF PERMIT.

   Any permit to operate a roller skating rink within the limits of the Municipality shall be revoked if the operation of such rink by reason of the continual congregation or assemblage of disorderly persons or the occasioning of disorders and noises, disturbs the public peace. This section shall not be construed so as to restrict the Mayor's power to revoke such permit for any reason other than as herein set forth.
