If, upon inspection, a taxicab is found to be of lawful construction and in proper condition, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and the rules and regulations established hereunder, and upon the payment of the license fees hereinafter set forth, the same shall be licensed by delivering to the owner a card of such size and form as may be prescribed by the Mayor. The card shall contain the official license number of the taxicab, together with the date of inspection of the same and a statement to the effect that, in case of any complaints, the Mayor shall be notified and given the license number of the taxicab. Such card shall be signed by the Mayor and shall contain blank spaces upon which an entry shall be made of the date of every inspection of the vehicle by the inspector. The license card shall be of a distinctly different color each year and, in the case of taxicabs driven by mechanical power, the license number assigned hereunder shall in each case be the same as that assigned to the vehicle for that year, pursuant to law. There shall also be printed upon such card the license number of such vehicle, which shall be conspicuously displayed within the taxicab as prescribed by the Mayor.
