SECTION 2: That Section 4-403 of the Code of the City of Evanston, 1957,
as amended, is hereby further amended to read as follows:
"Section 4-403. Disposition of Fees.
The amount of such fee as hereinbefore provided for licenses shall be
subject to an election by the applicant for license renewal only to pay
• annually.or semi-annually. In the event the applicant elects to pay
semi-annually, such election shall be made at the time of application
for said renewal. All payments required hereunder shall be paid to the
Commissioner at the time application is made for the issuance of a li-
cense or the renewal thereof and shall be forthwith turned over to the
City Collector. In the event the license is denied, such payment shall
be returned to the applicant. If the license is granted, and the appli-
cant shall have elected to pay the total fee semi-annually, a sum equal
to fifty percent (50%) of the total fees in such instance provided by
Section 4-402 herein shall be paid to the City Collector on the one hun-
dred eightieth day next following the date of issuance. The payment
upon a semi-annual basis does not relieve the applicant from paying the
full fee provided by Section 4-402 upon the election to make payments.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to create a semi-annual
• license, but rather each license shall be issued for a period of one
year, and only the payments required hereunder may be paid semi-annually°.
Failure to make the semi-annual payments as provided herein shall operate!
to suspend the license during the period of such non-payment and shall
constitute grounds for revocation. All funds received by the City Col-
lector shall be deposited in the General Corporate Fund or in such other
fund as the City Council may by appropriate action direct."
SECTION 3: All ordinances or portions of ordinances in conflict herewithi
are hereby repealed.
SECTION 4: This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and
after its passage and approval in the manner provided by law.
