It shall be unlawful for any person, persons, firm, or corporation to drive, run, operate, or permit the driving, running, or operation of any taxicab upon or along any street, avenue, or other highway within the city without first having paid the license fees as provided in § 112.05, without the license identification card being prominently displayed is said vehicle, and without complying with all provisions of this chapter.
(B) No additional vehicle or equipment shall be added to or used by the holder of any license until he has first reported such addition to the Clerk-Treasurer, made application for a license for such additional vehicle, and received a license and license identification card for such additional equipment. The application for additional equipment shall be made upon the same forms and there shall be furnished the same information provided for in the original application for a license.
(C) In the event of an emergency where extra taxicabs are necessary for the transportation of passengers, such as a convention or the like, and subject to the approval of the Clerk-Treasurer, temporary operating permits good for seven days from and including the date of issuance may be issued to the applicant upon the proper application as provided for in § 112.04 and upon the payment at the time of the application of a fee of $3 for each operating permit. Such temporary permits apply only to taxicab operators having secured the regular city license for the operation of a taxicab or taxicabs. In the event of any disaster or emergency such as flood, riot, war evacuation, or any such catastrophe, the Clerk-Treasurer shall have the right to suspend the foregoing requirement for a temporary operating permit during the emergency.
