Upon the issuance of said license, the City Clerk shall deliver to the applicant a metal plate bearing a number and name of the class to which said vehicle or wagon belongs and the year for which said license is issued, and it shall be the duty of such applicant to affix such plate in a conspicuous place upon the rear of said wagon or vehicle, where it can be readily seen. And it shall be unlawful for any wagon or vehicle, although duly licensed, to be used upon the streets, avenues or alleys of the city unless such plate is attached thereto; provided however, that it shall not be necessary for owners of automobiles to have the metal plate bearing a number provided for in this section attached to their automobile; and provided further, that it shall not be necessary for any wagon or vehicle to have the aforesaid metal plate attached to it except when actually in use upon the streets, avenues or alleys of the city.
