Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, by adding thereto 'new Section
34, relating to purchaser's right to return merchajidise for full
refund.
Be it ordained by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City,

SECTION 1. That Chapter 5 of Title 20 of the Revised Ordinances
of Salt Lake City, Utah, be, and the same hereby is, amended by adding
a new Section 34 to read as follows:
Sec. 20-5-34. Purchaser's right to return merchandise
for full refund. Purchasers at auctions of valuable articles,
as that term is defined in §20-5-30, may return such articles
purchased at action for a period of 90 days to the auction
house licensee responsible and receive from said licensee
full refund upon tender of such merchandise with proof of
purchase. Failure of the auction house licensee to provide
such refund within a period of five days after presentation
of such merchandise and demand for refund shall result in
loss of auction house license and forfeiture of posted bond
to the extent necessary to satisfy the demand of claimants
under this section. To the extent that such auction house
licensee fails to meet such claims or the amount of the
posted bond required under @20-5-19 is insufficient to meet
the claims of purchasers returning merchandise under the
provisions of this section then said auction house licensee
shall be liable to such purchasers directly.
All auction house licensees shall post a notice in
a prominent, conspicuous place wherein any auction sales
are being conducted, in letters large enough to be vis-
able to any person with normal vision who may attend said
sale, reading substantially as follows: PURCHASERS OF
MERCHANDISE ACQUIRED AT THIS AUCTION MAY, FOR A PERIOD
OF 90 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, RETURN SUCH MER-
CHANDISE TO (THE AUCTION HOUSE LICENSEE) AND RECEIVE THE
FULL REFUND OF ANY AMOUNTS PAID FOR SUCH MERCHANDISE.
SECTION 2. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its
