of the county in which he desires to do business, which

shall issue to the temporary or transient merchant a license to
do business at the place described in the application and the
kind of business to be done shall be described in the license.
No license shall be good for more than one (1) person, unless
the person shall be the member of a copartnership, nor for more
than one (1) place of business, and shall be good for a period
of one (1) year from the date of its issuance. The county clerk
shall keep a record of the licenses in a book which shall at all
times be open to public inspection.
(b) The license fee of two hundred dollars ($200.00) under
subsection (a) of this section may be modified by the county
commissioners for an event, a fair or a celebration. The

identified. The county clerk shall keep a record of the modified

transient merchant holding a valid license issued by the city or
town when conducting business inside the boundaries of the city
or town issuing the license. Any city or town issuing any
license to any temporary or transient merchant shall notify the
county clerk of the county in which the city or town is located
that a license has been issued.
