Upon the payment of the license fee the City Clerk shall issue a license to the owner of the horse drawn carriage together with a license plate to be securely affixed to a conspicuous and indispensable part of such horse drawn carriage on which shall be clearly set forth the license number of such horse drawn carriage. The license plate issued to the licensee may in the discretion of the City Clerk, or his or her designee, be a plate of a permanent nature with replaceable date tag attached thereto, indicating the expiration date of the plate during each license year and the issuance of such a place with such date tag to a person possessing such a plate, shall be deemed issuance of a license plate. Such license plate and the replaceable date tag to be issued from year-to-year to be attached thereto, shall be of such material, form, design and dimension and set forth such distinguishing number or other identification marks as the City Clerk’s office shall prescribe. The City Clerk, or his or her designee, upon renewal of the license hereunder, may continue the use of license plate for as many additional license years as he or she in his or her discretion may determine, in which event he or she shall issue and deliver to the licensee a replaceable date tag as evidence of renewal of license, which shall be attached or affixed in such manner as he or she may prescribe by regulation. The failure to affix or display such date tag in a manner prescribed by the City Clerk’s office shall constitute a violation of this section. In the event of the loss, mutilation or destruction of any license plate or date tag issued, the owner may file such statement and proof of facts as the City Clerk shall require with a fee of twenty five dollars ($25.00) at the City Clerk’s office and the City Clerk’s office shall issue a duplicate or substitute license plate or date tag.
