   shall be so permitted, and subject in all
   respects as if licensed to the provisions of
   this bye-law.\n

   abode of the owner thereof, and shall be

   by the Council, and shall be in the form
   specified in Schedule B hereunto annexed,
   and shall be signed by the Town Clerk.

4. Every license shall remain in force
   until the 31st day of December next ensuing
   the date thereof.

   year from its expiration, on application
   being made at the office of the Town Clerk
   by the owner of the cart thereby licensed,
   not later than the 15th day of the month of
   December in which such license shall
   expire, such owner at the same time leaving
   the same with the Town Clerk, who shall
   give him a receipt for the same.

6. For every carrier’s license there shall
   be paid to the Town Clerk, if granted on or
   before the 30th day of June in any year, a
