Each applicant shall file with the City Clerk-Treasurer, before a taxicab license is issued or renewed, a schedule of proposed maximum rates to be charged by him or her during the licensed period for which the application is made. The schedule of proposed maximum rates, or a compromise schedule thereof, shall be approved by the Council before granting the license. The schedule shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the taxicab in full view of passengers riding therein. Nothing herein shall prevent a taxicab licensee from petitioning the Council for review of the rates during the licensed period, and the Council may likewise consider the petition, and make new rates effective at any time. No taxicab licensee shall charge rates in excess of maximum rates approved by the Council.
(Prior Code, § 6.23)
Before issuing a taxicab license, the applicant shall present to the Council a certificate signed by a competent, and experienced, mechanic showing that the taxicab conveyance is in good mechanical condition, that it is thoroughly safe for transportation of passengers, and that it is in neat, and clean, condition. The similar certificate may be required, from time to time, during the licensed period. In lieu of the certificate, the Council may accept the report of the Chief of Police relative thereto.
