No such license shall be issued unless the location and character of the pole shall be approved by the Borough Manager, and the license fee shall be in an amount as established by resolution, from time to time, by the Borough Council, which shall be for the use of the Borough of Phoenixville to cover or partially cover the expenses of administering this Part and inspecting such poles shall have first been paid.
