The holder of a certificate of necessity issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, may apply to the Mayor for a license to operate any such public vehicles as may come within the scope covered by such certificate of necessity. Such application shall be in writing and, shall state the serial number of his certificate of necessity; the full name and address of the owner of the public vehicle, and also of the applicant, the trade name under which the applicant does or will do business, the type of vehicle for which the license is desired, the length of time such vehicle has been in use, the number of persons it is capable of carrying, the motor power thereof, the design, color scheme, the local symbol used or proposed to be used, together with all other lettering or marks used or proposed to be used by the applicant on such vehicle, and whether the fare to be charged is to be by taximeter or by the zone system.
The Mayor may require such additional information as to the financial responsibility and fitness of management, of officers and stockholders of the applicant, and such other information as he may desire. The Mayor shall have affixed thereto an affidavit duly sworn to by the applicant; provided, however, that in the case of applicants already licensed by a municipality abutting Middleburg Heights and whose principal business is the carrying of passengers elsewhere than in the Municipality, it shall be sufficient to file an affidavit containing a description of the vehicle, together with the license number of the municipality issuing such license, and a statement as to the surety bond or liability insurance filed with the municipality which issued such license covering the operation of the vehicle.
