Such application shall be in writing on forms provided by the manager and under oath, showing all the facts in regard to the closing out of applicant's business, and showing all the facts in regard to conducting the sale at public auction and the place of conducting the same including an inventory of the goods, wares and merchandise to be sold at the proposed sale, the quality, quantity and grade of each item, the wholesale value thereof; and a statement of the names of the persons from whom the jewelry so to be sold were obtained, the date of the delivery of such jewelry to the person applying for the permit, and the place from which such jewelry was last taken and all details necessary to fully identify the jewelry, together with such other information as may be required by the manager. Such application shall specify the proposed period of time over which such proposed sales at public auction shall continue, which period shall not exceed thirty days, Sundays and legal holidays excluded. Provided, that if it is made to appear upon sworn application to the manager at any time during the period of thirty days, that all the jewelry described and inventoried in the original application has not been sold, accompanied by a statement or inventory of what remains thereof, a permit supplemental to that provided for may be issued by said manager upon the same terms and conditions as the original permit, granting authority to continue such sale for a further period of thirty days.

Upon receipt of such application, the manager shall refer the same to the chief of police for investigation and report.
