It is unlawful for any person to operate a truck within the limits of this city without having the gross weight of the vehicle for which the license tax is paid stenciled in a conspicuous place on each side of the vehicle in letters not less than two and one-half inches high and three-eighths inch stroke in a color giving a marked contrast with that of the part of the vehicle on which it is placed, with a good quality paint that will endure throughout the term of the registration. The stenciling must be on a part of the vehicle itself and not on a removable plate or placard of any kind, and must be kept clean and visible at all times.
