No itinerant trader shall sell, offer or expose for sale in any part of the borough of Te Kuiti any good-3 or articles whatsoever without a license authorising hi«n so to do signed by the town clerk, which license shall remain in force for the term therein stated over six calendar months, and no longer and shall pay a license fee of £5. Provided that such fee shall be refunded if the licensee remains continuously in business in the borough for six calendar months."
