   by the Council as is hereinafter mentioned.

Tramcars in good order.

3. No license shall be issued for any tramcar unless such
   tramcar is safely constructed, in thorough repair, properly
   ventilated, and enclosed with doors and glazed to the satis-
   faction of the Council or of the Inspector duly authorised
   in that behalf; provided, nevertheless, that the Council may

Licenses for cars.

4. Tramcar licenses may be granted by the Town Clerk of
   the city, on behalf of the Council, and shall, subject to the
   provisions hereinafter contained, contain such particulars as
   the Council shall direct; but no charge shall be made for
   any such license.

Contents of license.

   number of the license, the name of the proprietor to whom
   the license is granted, also the maximum number of persons
   to be carried at one time in and by the tramcar to which
   such license shall apply, specifying the number of passengers
   who may be carried inside, upon platforms, and outside
   respectively.

Maximum number of passengers.

6. The license shall permit the carrying of one passenger
   for every 10in. of seating-space inside and outside every
   tramcar respectively, and such space shall limit the maxi-
   um number of passengers to be conveyed by such tramcar
   inside and outside thereof respectively; and, in addition

   sengers on the platform or platforms of any tramcar.

   cause the Inspector to measure and examine every tramcar,
   and fix and appoint the number of passengers which each

   pointed shall be the maximum which it shall be lawful for
   such tramcar to receive or convey at any one time.

Inspector may stop tramcars to count passengers.

8. The Inspector, or any police constable, may at any
   time stop any tramcar for the purpose of counting the

Duration of license.

9. Such licenses shall continue in force for the space of
   twelve months, and no longer; but on expiration of such
   term any such license may be renewed from time to time for

   licenses are required shall, in the opinion of the Inspector, to
   be certified in writing under his hand, be then in a fit and

proper condition within the meaning of this by-law; provided
always that it shall be lawful for the Council at any time to
revoke and make void any such license or licenses, in case it
shall be satisfied, and shall by resolution declare, that the
tramcar or tramcars in respect of which such license or
licenses shall have been issued is or are not in such fit and
proper condition as aforesaid. And in case the proprietor
shall continue to use on any tramway any tramcar the
license for which shall have been so revoked as aforesaid,
after he shall have received written notice of such revocation
under the hand of the Town Clerk, he shall be guilty of an
offence under this by-law; provided always that such notice
may be served on the proprietor personally, or left at his
usual or last-known residence, office, or place of business, or
sent to him through the post-office.

Notice inside tramcar.

10. In every tramcar the proprietor thereof shall at all
    times cause to be kept fixed in a conspicuous position, to be
    approved by the Inspector, a notice in letters and figures at
    least 1in. in length, at each end of the tramcar, showing
    the number of the tramcar specified in the license for the
    same, and the number of passengers which such tramcar is
    licensed to carry both inside and outside and on the plat-
    form or respective platforms.

Carrying excessive number of passengers on tramcar.

11. No proprietor or conductor of any tramcar shall allow,

    respect thereof.

12. No proprietor or conductor of any tramcar shall allow,
    cause, or suffer to enter or remain in or upon, or be conveyed
    or carried, inside or outside, or on any platform of such tram-
    car respectively, at any one time, a greater number of
    passengers than is authorised in the license in respect of
    such tramcar to be carried inside or outside, or upon any
    platform thereof respectively.

Passengers to be carried only as provided by license.

13. No proprietor or conductor of a tramcar shall allow
    or suffer any passenger to be conveyed or carried or at any
    time to remain upon any other part of a tramcar save the inside
