It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the business of peddling, hawking or huckstering any goods, wares, medicines, food produce, provisions, books, periodicals, articles or merchandise of any kind whatsoever or to offer the same for sale by going from house to house or by hawking or huckstering the same upon the public streets, alleys or lanes within the corporate limits of the City, without first obtaining a license to do so as provided in this article, and such activities shall be limited to the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Any person desiring a license to peddle, huckster or hawk or solicit orders or canvass, hold tag days or conduct a transient business as contemplated by this article shall make application, in writing, to the Police Department.
[Amended 4-14-1992 by Ord. No. 1518]
If the applicant, under the provisions of the preceding section, is a person of good character and repute and conducts a legitimate business and has not violated laws of the commonwealth, the provisions of this article or other ordinances of the City, such application shall be approved by the City Manager. Otherwise such application shall be refused.
If the application for a license under the provisions of § 259-2 is approved, the application shall be stamped and noted thereon with the approval of the City Manager, who is authorized to issue the license upon an approved application.
[Amended 2-9-1982 by Ord. No. 1351]
The applicant for a license under the provisions of this article shall pay to the City Manager for the use of the City the following fee:
A license for one day shall be $25.
A license for one year shall be $400.
The fee shall be the same whether peddling or hawking on foot, by handcart or with a wagon or motor vehicle.
No license shall be issued any person to peddle, hawk or huckster any merchandise or products or to solicit any funds upon the sidewalks or upon the streets or lanes or within the City where such peddling, hawking, huckstering or soliciting would entail the gathering of a group or crowd of people on the sidewalk, street, lane or public highway.
Upon the payment of the required license fee to the City Manager for the use of the City, the City Manager shall issue and furnish to the person paying the same a license certificate granting to such person the privilege to hawk, peddle or solicit or canvass as authorized by this article within the corporate limits of the City.
The certificate of license issued under the provisions of the preceding section shall set forth the name, residence, place of business of the applicant, the amount of license fee paid and the time or period for which the license is issued.
The City Manager shall keep a record and copy of each license certificate issued by him or her and an account of all moneys received by him or her for such licenses.

Every license certificate issued under the provisions of this article shall be kept in the possession of the person engaged in peddling, hawking, soliciting or canvassing. It shall be exhibited on demand to any proper person or citizen desiring to see the same or posted in a conspicuous place on the cart or vehicle used.
Nothing in this article shall be construed so as to allow or permit any holder of a license granted under the provisions of this article to violate any of the police regulations, the provisions of this article or other ordinances of the City relating to the use or occupancy of the streets, lanes and sidewalks of the City by carts, wagons or other vehicles or to the display of wares, goods and merchandise for examination or sale.

Honorably discharged veterans of the United States armed forces who have procured a general license to hawk, peddle, solicit or canvass in conformity with the requirement of the state law shall be exempt from the payment of license fees required by this article. All such veterans shall, however, file with the City Police Department and with the City Manager an application, in writing, as required by this article, and upon satisfactory proof to the City Manager that he or she is an honorably discharged veteran, he or she shall be granted a license for the purposes herein set forth without payment of any license fee. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to permit any such veteran to violate the provisions of § 259-6 of this article.
