472 LAWS OF MARYLAND [CH. 184

(b) Any person, firm or corporation who does not de-
sire to maintain and operate any such amusement devices
but merely to sell or lease the same, may obtain a license
therefor upon application to the said Clerk of Court and
upon the payment of an annual license fee of $1, 000. 00,
which license shall only authorize him to sell or lease such
amusement machines or devices to licensees for the main-
tenance and operation of such amusement machines under
a license authorized by this sub-title, except as authorized
in Sub-section (a) of this section.

shall set forth the name of the applicant, a description of
the premises where such amusement devices are sought
to be maintained, a description of the amusement devices
sought to be licensed, sold or leased and such other infor-
mation as the said Clerk may require. Upon receipt of a
properly executed application and upon receipt of the
proper license fee, the said Clerk shall forthwith issue an
appropriate certificate evidencing that such license is there-
by issued and the required license fees are thereby paid
and said certificate shall enumerate and list a cerial num-
ber for each of the devices thereby licensed for said prem-
ises. At the time of issuing said certificate, the Clerk shall
also issue a metal plate which shall have stamped thereon
a number, corresponding to the number assigned to the
device on the certificate, which metal plate thereafter shall
be securely fastened to the amusement device in such a
manner as will be visible. All machines or devices licensed
hereunder shall be kept and maintained at all times with-
in the premises of the licensee, away from windows and
doors and out of sight of the general public using the pub-
lic streets and thoroughfares.

on or before the tenth day of each month report the name

or having a place of business in Calvert County, to whom
any such amusement machine or device has been sold or
leased by him during the preceding month.

(e) All licenses issued under this section shall expire
on June 30 of each year. Each license fee shall be pro-rated
to the month of issue, but no refund shall be allowed for
ceasing to exercise the privilege of the license before ex-
piration.
