The application shall also state the restaurant in connection with which the proposed license will operate, its location, whether the applicant is owner and operator of the restaurant, how long the applicant has been in the restaurant business at that location, and such other information as the City Council may require from time to time. The application shall be in the form prescribed by the Commissioner of Public Safety and shall be verified and filed with the City Clerk. No person shall make a false statement in an application.
