As soon as practical after the receipt of any such application, the probate judge or license commissioner shall carefully examine such application to ascertain whether it is in the proper form and contains the necessary and requisite information. If upon examination the probate judge or license commissioner shall find that any such application is not in the proper form and does not contain the necessary and requisite information, he shall return such application for correction. If an application is found to be satisfactory and if the issuance and license fees, as herein prescribed, shall have been paid, the probate judge or license commissioner shall issue to the applicant a license for each store for which an application for a license shall have been made. Each licensee shall display the license so issued in a conspicuous place in the store for which such license is issued. It shall be the duty of the license inspector to examine such licenses to ascertain if there is an attempted evasion on the part of the applicant; and, if it is brought to the attention of the license inspector, he shall cite any and all delinquents for failure to procure the proper license. The license inspector shall be entitled to the citation fee of $1 for each citation served, to be taxed against the delinquent and collected by the probate judge or license commissioner at the time of issuing the license. The probate judge or license commissioner shall remit such fees to the license inspector in a like manner as other fees are remitted. It shall be the duty of the probate judge or license commissioner to furnish the state Department of Revenue a list of all licenses issued, on a form prescribed by the state Department of Revenue, by the tenth of the month following the month of issuance.
