In pursuance of the 186th section of
“ The Municipal Corporations Act,
1867,” the Council of the City of
Christchurch ordain as follows:—

1. No carriage, being a hackney carriage,
   or a borough stage carriage, within the
   meaning of the said Act, shall ply for hire
   within the limits hereinafter prescribed,
   unless and until the same shall be licensed
   by the Council. Provided that, in case any
   licensed carriage shall be undergoing repair,
   or otherwise unfit for use, the owner thereof
   may let, or permit to ply for hire, in lieu
   of such carriage, any other carriage which he
   shall have been permitted by the Town Clerk so
   to use, but for such time only as he shall be
   so permitted, and subject in all respects as
   if licensed to the provisions of this bye-law.

2. Before any such license shall be
   granted, the owner, or one of the owners, of
   such carriage shall deliver at the office of the
   Town Clerk an application, stating the
   particulars, and pursuant to the form con-
   tained in Schedule A to this bye-law, and
   signed by such owner; and shall also submit
   the carriage to such inspection as may be
   required; and the license shall not be
   granted unless the carriage shall appear, on
   inspection, to be fit for public use.

3. No person shall act as the driver or
   conductor of any licensed carriage within
   the limits hereinafter prescribed unless, and
   until he shall be licensed so to do by the
   Council.

4. Before any such license shall be
   granted, the applicant shall deliver at the
   office of the Town Clerk, together with
   certificates of his good character and
   conduct, and, if a driver, of his ability to
   drive, an application, containing the par-
   ticulars, and pursuant to the form con-
   tained in Schedule B to this bye-law; and
   the license shall not be granted unless the
   Council shall be satisfied as to such character,
   conduct, and ability.

5. Licenses for carriages shall be in the
   form contained in Schedule C. Licenses
   for drivers or conductors shall be in the
   form contained in Schedule D. Licenses
   shall be in force from the date thereof until
   the 31st day of December next ensuing, and
   may be renewed, on application, at the Town
   Clerk’s office, not later than the 15th day of
   December previous to their expiry, the ap-
   plicant leaving the same with the Town
   Clerk, who shall give a receipt for the same.

6. Licenses shall be signed by the Town
   Clerk, and numbered in such order as shall
   be determined by the Council. Licenses to
   drivers and conductors shall be furnished in
   duplicate.

7. For every carriage license granted on
   or before the 30th day of June in any year,
   there shall be paid a fee of £2. For every
   driver’s or conductor’s license granted on or
   before the same date, there shall be paid a
   fee of £1. If granted after the 30th day of
   June in any year, there shall be paid half
