If, upon inspection, a public hack is found 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 hereinafter set forth, the public hack shall be licensed by deliverance to the owner of a card of such size and form as may be prescribed by the Police Chief. The card shall contain the official license number of the hack, together with the date of inspection of the hack, and a statement to the effect that, in case of any complaints, the Police Chief shall be notified giving the license number of the hack. Such card shall be signed by the Police Chief, 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 the card the license number of such vehicle which shall be conspicuously displayed within the hack as prescribed by the Chief, provided, however, that it shall not be necessary to issue or affix such license cards to vehicles already licensed by any other municipality in Cuyahoga County which municipality issues license cards carrying similar information.
