If the Mayor finds that an applicant for a license to operate is the holder of a valid certificate of necessity and that the vehicle for which the license to operate is sought is fit and safe for the transportation of passengers under such rules and regulations as the Mayor may promulgate, he shall issue to such owner a license to operate upon the owner's depositing the insurance policy heretofore described and paying the license fee hereinafter set forth. There shall be delivered to such owner a license card of the size and design prescribed by the Mayor, which shall contain the official license number, name and address of the licensee and such other information as the Mayor shall prescribe. Such license card shall be affixed to the interior of the licensed public vehicle so as to be readily accessible and visible to any one desiring to examine the same. The license shall specify whether the vehicle shall be operated on the taximeter plan or on the zone fare plan. Any license issued hereunder shall expire on December 31 of the year in which it was issued.
