A. Every taximeter used in the operation of taxicabs shall be subject to inspection at any time by the chief of police or any of his agents or employees. Upon discovery of any inaccuracy of such taximeter the operator thereof shall remove or cause to be removed from service any vehicle equipped with said taximeter until such taximeter has been repaired and accurately adjusted.
B. Every taximeter shall be inspected and tested for accuracy by the carrier at least once every six months. Upon the completion of such inspection and of any adjustment necessary to cause such taximeter to operate within the standards of accuracy approved by the chief of police, the carrier shall cause to be placed upon such meter a gummed label having printed thereon the following:
"This taximeter was inspected and tested on (date) and found to comply with standard of accuracy prescribed by the Chief of Police of the City of Signal Hill."
The date on which such inspection was made shall be stamped in the blank space provided for that purpose. No such label shall be removed except at the time a subsequent inspection is made.
