No person, being the owner, lessee or possessor, or the agent or employee of the same, of any taxicab, automobile or other vehicle, shall use the same for conveying, or for hire, of persons from one part of the City to another part of the City, unless a license to use such vehicle shall first have been procured from the Mayor and shall be in force and effect.
A separate and nontransferable license shall be acquired for each such vehicle. The license shall designate the particular vehicle for which such license is used, the person or persons who shall be permitted to drive the same when in such use, the privilege granted, the time when issued and the time limits thereof.
Upon a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, upon the Mayor being satisfied that such vehicle has been driven in a reckless manner or is in a dangerous condition, or upon other good cause shown, the Mayor may revoke any such license. Any license fees theretofore paid shall be forfeited.
(Ord. 1025. Passed 12-4-52.)
An application for a license for a taxicab shall be made to the Mayor and shall set forth the name and address of the applicant, the serial number of the vehicle intended to be used and the trade name under which the applicant does business. The applicant shall also submit to the Mayor the insurance policy or bond, hereinafter provided for, and pay to the Clerk the fees provided for herein.
Upon the Mayor satisfying himself or herself that the applicant has complied with all the provisions of this chapter he or she shall forthwith issue his or her certificate of compliance to the applicant. Upon the applicant's presentation of the certificate, together with the certificate of the Safety-Service Director hereinafter provided for, the Mayor shall issue a license according to the law.
(Ord. 1025. Passed 12-4-52.)

Previous to the Mayor's issuing a license, as aforementioned, the vehicle to be used for transportation purposes shall be inspected and approved by a mechanic approved by the Safety-Service Director; and, if at any time during the term of the license, the vehicle shall be deemed unfit, by one of the approved mechanics, to be used as a public conveyance, the license shall be revoked and the fee therefor forfeited, unless the vehicle can be replaced and/or reconditioned to meet the specifications of the approved mechanic and the Safety Service Director.
