 of every permit under this chapter a bond with sufficient surety, 

 to be approved by said commissioner,* in such penalty, and 

 not exceeding twice the amount of the annual rental, but in 

 no case less than five hundred dollars, as may be prescribed by 

 said commissioner,* conditioned for the payment of the rental 

 reserved in the permit at or prior to the time of payment therein 

 specified, during the term of such permit or during such part 

 thereof as said commissioner* in his discretion shall require to 

 be covered by such bond ; and in case only a part of the term 

 of such permit shall be covered thereby, said commissioner* 

 shall require another like bond, to be executed and delivered 

 within three months and not less than one month prior to the 

 expiration of the period covered by the previous bond, covering 

 the remainder of the term of the permit, or such part thereof 

 as said commissioner* in his discretion shall require to be 

 covered thereby. The said commissioner* shall have power at 

 any time to summon sureties upon any bond and to examine 

 into the sufficiency thereof, and if he shall find the same to 

 be insufficient he shall require the holder of the permit to file a 

 new and sufficient bond within thirty days after receiving notice 

 so to do, under penalty of cancellation of the permit; and the 

 said commissioner* shall have power upon sixty days' notice 

 to cancel any permit for a substantial breach by the holder 

 thereof of any of the conditions thereof, or for lack of a 

 bond therewith as herein required. (Laws '13, p. 582, sec. 1 ;
