(A) After the issuance of a permit, the Clerk-Treasurer shall deliver to the applicant a metal number plate for each motor vehicle listed in the schedule filed, on which plate shall be printed or stamped the words “Car No. , 20 , New Haven, Indiana”, which plate shall, at all times when the motor vehicle is being operated or used upon any public street, highway or other public place in the city as a taxicab, be conspicuously displayed on the rear thereof.
(B) In the event the holder of any permit desires to transfer any plate from the motor vehicle for which it was issued, and use it on another motor vehicle, he or she shall immediately notify the Clerk-Treasurer and furnish him or her the name of the maker, the serial number and the seating capacity of the motor vehicle to which the plate is to be transferred.
(C) In the event any person, firm or corporation applying for a permit, has already been issued and granted a permit by a city of the second class in the county, then so long as that permit is in force, the applicant:
(1) In applying for a permit from the city need not file an original bond, undertaking or contract of liability insurance, but may file a duplicate copy of the bond, undertaking or contract of liability insurance heretofore filed and accepted by the city of the second class in the county;
(2) Shall be exempt from the license fee requirements for each motor vehicle, and from the requirements of a metal number plate for each motor vehicle; provided, the vehicle or vehicles are not permanently stationed or operating in the city; and
(3) Shall file with its application for a permit, a detailed schedule of the proposed rates and charges, which, if approved, shall not be altered unless approval is granted by the Common Council of the city.
