Applications for such license shall be made annually upon forms provided by the Chief of Police, and shall be accompanied by a license fee as set from time to time by the Town Council. At the time such license is issued, an additional annual fee as set from time to time by the Town Council shall be paid for each vehicle used in connection with such business.

Each license issued shall designate the exact name of the junk dealer, his home and business addresses, the trade name under which he does business, and the location of his junkyard. Each such license shall continue for one year unless sooner revoked.
Such license may be revoked by the Chief of Police and thereafter may not be renewed upon the violation by the holder thereof of any statute relating to junk dealers, the provisions of this chapter, or of the zoning ordinances of East Hampton relating to junkyards.
Each vehicle used by a junk dealer in the conduct of his business shall bear thereon in legible characters the name and address of the owner and proprietor thereof.

Each such dealer shall make weekly, sworn statements of all his transactions under such license, describing the goods received and setting forth the name and residence and a description of the person from whom such goods were received, to the Town Clerk of the Town in which such junk dealer resides, and shall keep all goods at least five days after the filing of such statement.
