shall issue to any itinerant vendor a license authorizing
such itinerant vendor to conduct business in the City of
Fort Worth only after such itinerant vendor shall have
fully complied with all of the provisions of this chapter
and made payment of the sum of sixty dollars ($60.00) for
such license, such sum to be used to partially defray the
expenses of the surveillance and inspection of the
premises and property of the licensee, and the enforcement
of the provisions of this chapter. Should any individual
applying for license as an itinerant vendor be of the
opinion that, in his case, the payment of such license fee
or portion thereof would impose a burden on interstate
commerce, such individual may present to the tax
assessor-collector of the City of Fort Worth any evidence
which, in the opinion of such individual, demonstrates
that the payment of such license fee or portion thereof
would impose a burden on interstate commerce, and such tax
assessor-collector shall be fully empowered to reduce such
license fee to such an amount as would not impose a burden
on interstate commerce."
