Any person desiring to engage in business as a dealer and trader in secondhand bicycles, junk, metals or other secondhand articles in any town, city or borough shall make application to the selectmen of such town, the mayor or chief of police of such city or the warden of such borough, as the case may be, for a license to transact such business within the limits of such town, city or borough, and the selectmen of such town, the mayor or chief of police of such city or the warden of such borough shall issue such licenses to such suitable persons as apply therefor and may revoke any such license for cause; but the selectmen shall not grant any such license for the carrying on of such business within the limits of any city or borough, and the persons so licensed shall pay, for the benefit of any such town, city or borough, to the authority granting the license, not less than two nor more than ten dollars therefor, to be determined by the authority granting the license, and for renewal of such license ten dollars per year. Each license granted under the provisions of this section shall designate the place where such business is to be carried on, and shall continue for one year unless sooner revoked. Each such dealer shall keep a book in which such dealer or an employee of such dealer shall [be written] record, legibly and in English: [a] A description of [such] the articles [and] of property received by such dealer; the name, [and residence and] address, and proof of identification provided to such dealer by the person from whom such property was received, a general description of [the] such person; [from whom,] and the date and time [and hour when,] such property was received. [; and such] Such book, [and] all articles of property [mentioned therein] described in such book, and the place where such business is carried on, may be examined at any time by the selectmen of the town or any person designated by them, and, in any city or borough, by the chief of police of such city or borough or any person by him designated. Each such dealer shall make [,] weekly, sworn statements of all [his] transactions under such license [, describing the goods received and setting forth the name and residence and a description of the person from whom such goods were received] during the previous week, to the chief of police in the case of cities or boroughs and, in other cases, to the town clerk of the town in which such junk dealer [resides] is licensed, and shall keep all [goods] articles of property received during such previous week for at least five days after the filing of such statement.
