No person shall engage in or carry on any business occupation, act or privilege for which a tax is imposed by Section 050 of this ordinance without first having obtained, and being the holder of, a license to do so, to be known as an Business License. Each such person shall promptly apply to the City Clerk for such license upon such forms as the Clerk shall prescribe, giving such information as the Clerk shall deem reasonably necessary to enable said Clerk's office to administer and enforce this ordinance, and, upon acceptance of such application by the Clerk, said Clerk shall thereupon issue such license to the applicant. Such Business License shall be personal and nontransferable and shall be valid as long as the licensee shall continue in said business and shall comply with this ordinance.

Any person engaged in, or carrying on, more than one such business, occupation, act, or privilege shall pay the license tax so imposed upon each of the same.

Any taxpayer who engaged in, or carries on, any business subject to tax under this ordinance without having his Business License to do so, is deemed to be in violation of this ordinance for each day during which the business is so engaged in or carried on, and any taxpayer who fails or refuses to pay the license fee or tax or any part thereof on or before the date due shall be deemed to be operating without having his license so to do.
