Each vending machine operator shall make application to the City Treasurer on forms provided by him, and shall furnish such information as may be required, provided that vending machine operators operating twenty or more machines are only required to furnish a certified statement as to the total number of machines on location in the City, and the applicant shall be subject to the penalties of false swearing for any untrue statement contained in his application. The provisions of any applicable West Virginia law applying to ownership, identification, the keeping of records and reports, and availability for inspection, shall have full application to the licensing of such machines in this City.

(b) Application for the licenses required by this article, under Section 759.02(d), shall contain the number of such machines or devices to be kept or maintained by the licensee within the City during the ensuing license year. Application for the licenses required under Section 759.02(e) shall include the number of such machines or devices together with the serial number and location of each such machine or device. Such information shall be supplemented and provided to the City at least on a quarterly basis to reflect any changes in the number, serial number, or location of such machines or devices. One license certificate shall be issued to each person keeping or maintaining such machines or devices as aforesaid, but the City Licensing Officer shall issue to any such licensee a decalcomania stamp or other evidence of license for each such machine or device, which decalcomania stamp or other evidence of license shall be securely attached to the side or front of each such machine or device, properly protected and plainly visible. Each such machine or device shall also bear on the side or front thereof, so as to be plainly visible, the name and address of the person keeping or maintaining such machine or device.
The proprietor or owner of the business conducted in the place where such machine is kept or maintained is charged with the responsibility of satisfying himself that such decalcomania stamp or other evidence of license is so attached before permitting its installation in his place of business, and in the event the owner of any automatic machine or device refuses, neglects or fails to pay the license fee due upon such machine or device, the proprietor or owner of the business conducted in the place where such machine or device is installed, operated or maintained shall be liable for the payment of such license fee.
