        (a) Upon the filing of the application and the report as provided in the previous
                subsection, the Village Board may, upon its approval of such application
                and the payment to the Village of the license fee in Section 12.01 authorize
                the Clerk/Treasurer to issue to the applicant a license to conduct and
                maintain a public dance hall as provided in sub. (2). No license shall be
                refused except for a specific reason and for the protection of the public
                safety, health, morals or general welfare.

        (b) All licenses shall be numbered in the order in which they are issued and
                shall state clearly the location of the public dance hall, dates of issuance
                and expiration of the license, fee paid and the name of the licensee. No
                applicant to whom a license has been refused shall make further application
                until at least 6 months have elapsed since the last rejection, unless he can
                show that the reason for such objection no longer exists. No license shall
                be granted to a person under 18 years of age or renewed without a
                reinspection of the premises.
