  (The petition or application shall be acknowledged as provided
by law for instruments affecting real property to entitle them to be recorded.)
|
Should any penalty accrue under the terms of said license, the Supervisor
shall be entitled without any other action to deduct the amount thereof from
the cash deposit made with him at the time of returning the money, and he
shall also be authorized to retain any other charges for damages, additional
policing or otherwise to which the Town may be entitled.
Peace officers, for the purpose of maintaining order and preventing
abuse or disturbance, may be assigned for duty at any carnival, show or exhibition
to which a license shall be granted, and the proper compensation of such officers
shall be a charge against the licensee.
No license for the operation of a dance hall under the provisions of
§ 222 of the Town Law shall be granted except upon the resolution
of the Town Board of at least five members voting favorably.
The Town Board, in its discretion, before the granting of any license
for a dance hall, may require a public hearing upon publishing notice of at
least two weeks, the cost of the publication of the notice to be paid by the
applicant for the license. No person who shall be the holder of a dance hall
license shall be entitled to operate or hold dances at any other times or
places than those distinctly specified in the license. The Town Board may,
in its discretion, require as a condition for the granting of such a license
the authority to assign to duty at such dance hall, during the time it shall
be in operation, peace officers for the purpose of maintaining order therein.
The compensation of such peace officers shall be fixed by the Town Board and
shall be paid by the licensee, at least weekly, to the Supervisor of the Town
who shall be authorized to make the payment thereof to such peace officers.
A license for the operation of a dance hall shall terminate without
action of the Town Board upon the failure to make payment for the compensation
of said officers as same shall accrue, not less frequently than once in each
week, and the fact that pay for such officers remains unpaid for six days
to the Supervisor shall be conclusive evidence of the failure of the licensee
to comply with the provisions of this chapter.
[Amended 3-12-1980 by L.L. No. 4-1980]
Any person committing an offense against any provision of this chapter
shall, upon conviction, be punishable by a fine of not more than $250 or by
imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
