[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township
of Riverside 7-26-1967 by Ord. No. 1967-13 (Ch. 170 of the 1995
Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
It shall be unlawful for any person, persons or corporation
to engage in or carry on the business of a junk shopkeeper, junk dealer,
automobile garage or establishment for the sale of used or secondhand
motor vehicles or automobiles in the Township of Riverside, in the
County of Burlington and State of New Jersey, without first obtaining
a license as herein provided.
Any person or persons or corporation desiring to obtain a license
as herein provided shall make written application therefor to the
Township Clerk of said Township, which said application shall state
the name and residence of the applicant, the purpose for which such
license is desired, the location at which the business is proposed
to be carried on and the nature and character of such business.
At the meeting of the Township Committee next after the receipt
of such application, said Township Clerk shall present the same to
said Committee, which said Committee shall thereupon proceed to investigate
said application and shall, by resolution, either grant or refuse
to grant such license as shall appear to it to be for the best interest
of such Township. Said Township Committee, upon granting such license,
shall fix the fee to be paid for such license, which said fees are
imposed for costs of administration.
Upon the passage of such resolution granting a license, the
Township Clerk shall forthwith issue the same, upon the payment of
said license fee. Said license shall state the name of the person
to whom the same was granted, the business or occupation to be carried
on or conducted and the place where the same is to be so carried on
or conducted.
Said license shall continue in force for the term of one year
from the date thereof and may be renewed at the expiration of such
time for the further term of one year by said Township Clerk upon
the payment of the license fee heretofore fixed, unless said Township
Committee shall, by resolution passed before the expiration thereof,
direct said Clerk not to renew said license, in which case application
must be made for the renewal of such license in the same way and manner
as application for license are herein directed to be made.
No person or persons or corporation licensed hereunder shall,
at the expiration of the term of his or her license and before the
same is renewed as herein provided, carry on the business or occupation
for which such license was granted.
