§ 66-117. Exemptions for disabled persons, certain widows and elderly.

All disabled persons physically incapable of manual labor, widows with minor dependents, and persons 65 years of age or older, with not more than one employee or helper, and who use their own capital only, not in excess of $1,000.00, shall be allowed to engage in any business or occupation in the city if they live in the county without being required to pay for a license. The exemption provided by this section shall be allowed only upon the certificate of the county physician or other reputable physician that the applicant claiming the exemption is disabled, the nature and extent of the disability being specified therein, and in case the exemption is claimed by a widow with minor dependents or a person over 65 years of age, proof of the right to the exemption shall be made. Any person entitled to the exemption provided by this section shall, upon application and furnishing of the necessary proof, be issued a license which shall have plainly stamped or written across the face thereof the fact that it is issued under this section, and the reason for the exemption shall be written thereon.
