If a public hack is found upon inspection to be of lawful construction, and in proper condition, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, and the rules and regulations established thereunder, and upon the payment of the license fees, the same shall be licensed by delivering to the owner a card of such size and form as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Assessments and Licenses. The card shall contain the official license number of the hack, together with the date of inspection of the same, and a statement to the effect that, in case of any complaints, the Commissioner shall be notified giving the license number of the hack. Such card shall be signed by the Commissioner, and shall contain blank spaces upon which an entry shall be made of the date of every inspection of the vehicle by the inspector. The license card shall be of a distinctly different color each year, and, in case of public hacks driven by mechanical power, the license number assigned thereunder shall in each case, be the same as that assigned to the vehicle for that year, pursuant to law. There shall also be printed upon such card the license number of such vehicle, which shall be conspicuously displayed within the hack as prescribed by the Commissioner.
