No permit shall be issued by the Village Board of Trustees for the purposes set forth in §§ 69-2 and 69-3 in any case in which, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees, such purpose would create conditions likely to impair the health, peace, quiet and order of the village.

They shall hear the proofs and allegations of the case and determine the same summarily, and no appeal shall be taken from their determination. Any person whose permit shall have been revoked or annulled shall not thereafter be entitled to a permit under any of the provisions of this chapter. On an examination pursuant to notice to show cause, as aforesaid, the permittee may be a witness in his own behalf.
