§ 19-44. Same—Appeal from denial.

If any application for a permit under this article is denied after the filing of a proper application therefor, the applicant shall have the right to have the mayor and board of aldermen consider the application immediately and to pass on whether the requested permit should be issued or not by filing with the city clerk a written request for a review of the action of the chief of police with respect to the application. Such review shall be heard within twenty-four (24) hours after the filing of the request with the clerk of the city, and the applicant shall have the right to appear before the mayor and board of aldermen and to present proof in support of the application. The mayor and board of aldermen shall without delay pass on the question of whether the permit should be issued or not, and if they are of the opinion that the permit should be issued, the same shall be issued forthwith. If the mayor and board of aldermen deny the permit, such action shall be subject to appeal as provided by law.
