Section 3. Section 11 of the above-entitled ordinance is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 11. Every license fee required hereunder which is not paid within a period of fifteen days from the time the same becomes due and payable is hereby declared to be delin­quent and the City Clerk shall thereupon add to said license fee and collect, before issuing such license, a penalty of ten per cent of such license fee so delinquent (but not in any case less than fifty cents) and such penalty may also be recovered in any civil action brought in the name of the City of Las Vegas for the recovery of the amount of license tax imposed by this ordinance. Provided, however, that the City Clerk during each current quarter, at least ten days before the next succeeding quarter, shall deposit in the United States Post Office at Las Vegas, Nevada, postage prepaid thereon, a written or printed notice directed to each person appearing upon the license tax roll for the current quarter calling attention to the fact that the license fee for the next succeeding quarter will be due at the time provided in this ordinance and of the amount thereof, if readily ascertainable, and that the penalty herein provided shall be exacted unless paid within the time required by this ordinance. Proof of actual receipt of any such notice shall be in no case required. Section 4. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed.
