(B) The application must be verified by the affidavit of the applicant before a notary public or other person authorized to administer oaths. If the Board of Commissioners, in its discretion, determines that the applicant fails to qualify for the license, or if any false statement is knowingly made in any application, the applicant shall be denied a license after a hearing of which reasonable notice shall be given the licensee as the Board may direct. If a license is issued pursuant to any application containing a false statement knowingly made, it shall be revoked in accordance with § 112.10 below. In addition to the information furnished in any application, the Town Manager shall at the request of the Board of Commissioners make additional and independent investigation of each applicant and of the place to be occupied.
