The application, with accompanying statements and bonds, shall be numbered by the License Clerk in the order in which they appear in the respective license rolls, and after numbering, the bonds, fees and applications shall be filed in the office of the License Clerk. Each application shall bear the assessment rolls number and a separate file shall be used for the applications recorded in each roll. The applicant upon tendering the required fee to the License Clerk, shall be issued an interim receipt showing the receipt of such deposit, but such receipt of deposit shall not be deemed to be a certificate of license. In the event the license should be denied, the money so deposited shall be returned to the applicant. (Prior code § 11-02-005)
