Each licensee licensed under the provisions of this act shall pay an annual license fee to the director as follows:
Provided that any licensee who operates for only a portion of a year may have his license fee prorated from the date he commences operation to the end of the calendar year, but in no event for less than six (6) months.
In the event a licensee who was previously issued a license on a prorated basis under the provisions hereof desires to have such license renewed for the same period for the next succeeding year, he shall file his intention to so apply for such license with the director, accompanied by the fee required for the issuance of such license on or before December 31 of the year preceding.
The license fees herein provided for are exclusive of and in addition to other license fees chargeable in the state of Idaho.
The basis upon which respective populations of municipalities shall be determined is the last preceding census or any subsequent special census conducted by the United States bureau of the census, unless a direct enumeration of the inhabitants thereof be made by the state of Idaho, in which case such later direct enumeration shall constitute such basis.
