(A) No license shall be issued to an applicant as a food vendor who proposes to sell food products, who has not received from the Department of Health a health card issued by the Health Officer to the effect that the bearer of the card has had a physical examination by a reputable physician, has met all the requirements of the Health Department of the city, and is a suitable person to carry such a card.

(C) The license for a street vendor and/or food vendor as herein authorized shall be in such form as to contain a true photograph of the licensee, his name, address, physical description, fingerprints, and the class of license as designated in this chapter. Such license shall be delivered to the licensee when he takes out his license, but additional copies of the license to replace ones lost, spoiled or destroyed shall be charged at the rate of $.50 for each license lost, spoiled or destroyed. Every licensee shall carry with him at all times while operating as street vendor and/or food vendor the license above described.

The color of such plates shall be changed each year. The licensee shall attach such plates, one on each side and towards the forward end of the vehicles he operates, in as conspicuous a place as possible, and shall not use any vehicle as a street vendor and/or food vendor on which such plates are not so displayed.
(2) Every street vendor licensee, whether using a vehicle or not, shall be given a metal badge bearing the same date as is required by this chapter on the license plates, with the license number in easily readable figures at least one-half inch, and such badge shall be worn constantly by the licensee in a conspicuous place on the front of his coat or hat during the time he operates as a street vendor.
(3) A street vendor and/or food vendor licensee shall not transfer his license, badge or plates to another person, nor shall plates for small vehicles be used on vehicles drawn by horse or propelled by motor or vice versa.
