ORD 071ê79wS ×P í è None of the license taxes provided for by this
Chapter shall be so applied as to occasion an undue
burden upon interstate commerce. In any case where a
license tax is believed by a licensee or applicant
for a license to place an undue burden upon such com-
merce, he may apply to the Tax Collector for an adjust-
ment of the tax so that it shall not be discriminatory
or unreasonable as to such commerce. Such application
may be made before, at or within six months after payment
of the prescribed license tax. The applicant shall, by
affidavit and supporting testimony, show his method of
business and the gross volume or estimated gross volume
of business and such other information as the Tax
Collector may deem necessary in order to determine the
extent, if any, of such undue burden on such commerce.

and, after first having obtained the written approval
of the City Attorney, shall fix as the license tax for
tine applicant, an amount that is reasonable and non-
discriminatory, or if the license tax has already been

to be charged, the Tax Collector shall have the power
to base the license tax upon a percentage of gross re-,
ceipts or any other measure which will assure that the
license tax assessed shall be uniform with that assessed
on businesses of like nature, so long as tine amount
assessed does not exceed the license tax as prescribed
by this Chapter. Should the Tax Collector determine
the gross receipts measure of license tax to be the
proper basis, he may require the applicant to submit,
either at the time of termination of applicant's busi-
ness in the City of Baldwin Park, or at the end of each
three-month period, a sworn statement of the gross re-
ceipts and pay the amount of license tax therefor, pro-
vided that no additional license tax during any one

have paid an amount equal to the annual license tax as
prescribed in this ordinance.

section shall file a verified statement with the Tax
Collector stating the facts upon which exemption is
claimed.

contained in the verified statement, issue a license
to such person claiming exemption under this section
without payment to the city of the license tax required
by this ordinance.

reasonable opportunity, for hearing to a licensee, may
revoke any license granted pursuant to the provisions
of this section upon information that the licensee is
not entitled to the exemption as provided herein.

strued to require the payment of a license tax to conduct,

exhibition, or lecture ar,e to be appropriated for the
purpose and objects for which such organization or
association was formed and from which profit is not
derived, either directly or indirectly, by any in-
dividual; provided, however, that nothing in this
