No person shall distribute mechanical amusement devices within the corporate limits by lease, conditional sale or financial conditional method, a distributor also being
known as an operator, without having first obtained a distributor's license therefor from the Chief of Police or his designee upon the payment of the annual license fee of five hundred dollars ($500.00).
