All persons who shall vend, sell, hawk, peddle, or offer for sale any goods, wares, or merchandise at public or private sale or auction upon the streets or sidewalks or from house to house shall be deemed vendors, hawkers or peddlers within the meaning of this chapter.
No person shall carry on the business of a vendor, hawker or peddler without a license from the First Selectman.

It shall be the duty of the First Selectman to keep a record of all licenses granted under the provisions of this chapter. Such record shall be kept in a database file which shall contain the number and date of all licenses, the name and residence of the individuals licensed, the amount of fee paid and the date of expiration of each license. All receipts for such licenses shall be paid over to the Financial Director to become a part of the Town of Newtown General Fund on the first day of each month.
