No person, firm, association or corporation shall engage in the business of buying or selling junk, rubber, rags, rope, ferrous metal, nonferrous metal or other similar materials, commonly known as the "business of a junk dealer," within the Township of Springfield without having first obtained a license from the Township Secretary as provided in this article.

Each such license shall set forth such conditions as shall be prescribed by the Public Works Committee of the Board of Commissioners for the conduct of such business and may be revoked by order of the Board of Commissioners at any time if there shall have been committed any breach of such conditions or any of them. In the event of such revocation of any such junk dealer license, no portion of the license fee paid therefor shall be refunded.
