Every hawker or peddler desiring to do business within the City shall deposit with the City Treasurer the sum of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00), before a license shall be issued to him. Such deposit shall be held by the City Treasurer for a period of ninety days after such hawker or peddler ceases to do business within the City, and after satisfying all claims which shall be made against him under the next following paragraph hereof, the City Treasurer shall return such deposit or such portion thereof as remains in his hands to the hawker or peddler who deposited it. The deposits so made with the City Treasurer shall be subject to the attachment and execution on behalf of creditors whose claims arise in connection with the business conducted within the City, and to the payment of fines and penalties incurred by the hawker or peddler in violation of this article may be fixed by the judge of the Municipal Court or other courts having jurisdiction thereof, as well as for any unpaid taxes assessed, laid or charged, by any proper authorities, upon such goods, wares and merchandise, and such deposit or remaining portion thereof shall not be paid to such hawker or peddler until all outstanding claims or notices of claims, presented within ninety days after ceasing to do business, are settled in full.
