Sec. 32-2. - Sale of goods or merchandise on streets and sidewalks.

No person shall sell, display, display for sale or offer for sale or suffer to be sold any goods, wares or merchandise of any type, nature or description whatsoever, however named, called or described, in or from any open-air stand or in any open-air area or on or from any stand adjacent to or near any building or from any place other than a building, or shall make sales on any sidewalk in the city, unless and until he shall have obtained a license therefor from the city council. Such person shall first make application, giving the size, location, nature and purpose of the stands and the area or place to be used. The council may grant such license upon such terms and conditions as in their discretion are necessary and essential. The granting of such licenses is not mandatory, since the welfare of the public is of primary consideration. The license fee therefor shall be established from time to time for each period of one year, such licenses to be prorated from June 1 in each year.
