Licenses generally.

26. Every license issued under these by-laws shall be duly entered by the Clerk in a registry book to be provided for that purpose and kept at the office of the Council.

27. The owner of every vehicle licensed under these by-laws to ply for hire or carriage of passengers or goods shall cause to be painted or marked in some conspicuous place on such vehicle, in legible letters and figures of at least 1 in. in length and of proportionate breadth, the name of the owner, the number of passengers or quantity of goods, or both, as the case may be, such vehicle is licensed to carry, in the following form :-

Licensed to carry passengers; or
Licensed to carry cwt. goods.

And the owner of such vehicle licensed under these by-laws shall cause to be affixed to such vehicle a metal plate, as supplied by the Council, showing the number of the license as issued in respect of such vehicle.

Inspection.

28. The Council may, as often as it may deem necessary, cause an inspection to be made of all or any vehicle licensed under this by-law; and if any such vehicle shall at any time be, in the opinion of any Inspector of Vehicles, or person appointed by the Council to inspect the same, in a condition unfit for public use, the Council may give notice to that effect to the owner, and if after such notice such owner shall ply or permit or suffer any person to ply for hire with such vehicle, or let out the same on hire, while in such condition, the Council may suspend for any stated time or may revoke the license granted in respect of such vehicle. Any notice may be served upon such owner personally or by leaving the same at his last known place of abode, or by posting the same addressed to him at his place of abode as stated in the application for such license. If the owner of any vehicle in respect of which a license shall have been granted hereunder shall fail to cause to be painted or marked, and to be kept painted or marked, on such vehicle in some conspicuous place the words and figures which he is hereinbefore required to cause to be painted or marked and kept painted or marked thereon, or shall fail to have affixed to his vehicle the metal plate as hereinbefore provided for, or if any such person shall commit any breach of this by-law, the Council may suspend for any stated time or revoke the license granted in respect of such vehicle, and no license while suspended under this section shall be deemed to be of any force or virtue. Any license revoked under this section shall immediately cease and determine, and the vehicle in respect of which such license shall have been issued shall thereupon cease to be licensed hereunder.

Purchased Vehicles.

29. Any person who shall purchase or otherwise acquire any vehicle in respect of which a license under this by-law shall be then in force, may apply to the Council for a transfer of such license by himself, and the Council, if it deems fit, may thereupon cause a memorandum to be endorsed on such license stating that such purchase or acquisition has been made or taken, and that the Council allows a transfer of the license to the purchaser or person so acquiring. Such person shall remove the name of the former owner from the said vehicle and paint his own name in place thereof. Until such endorsement of the license and alteration of the name no such vehicle shall ply for hire for the carriage of passengers or of goods.

Penalties.

30. Any person who,—
    (a.) Being the owner of any vehicle for which no license hereunder is in force, shall use or permit or suffer the same to be used to ply for hire for the carriage of passengers or of goods;
    (b.) Being the owner of any vehicle for which a license hereunder is in force, fails to cause to be painted or marked, and to be kept painted or marked, thereon in manner hereinbefore provided the words and figures hereinbefore required to be so painted or marked and kept painted or marked;
    (c.) Shall ply for hire for the carriage of passengers or goods with any vehicle for which no license hereunder is in force, or without having painted or marked thereon in manner hereinbefore provided the words and figures hereinbefore required to be so painted or marked;
    d.) Being the owner, driver, or person in charge of any vehicle licensed hereunder, shall carry therein or thereon any greater number of passengers or larger quantity or weight of goods than that which according to the license may be carried in and by such vehicle;

(e.) Being the owner or driver of any licensed vehicle shall ply for hire for the carriage of passengers or goods, or let such vehicle out on hire, while such vehicle is in a condition rendering it unfit for public use;
(f.) Being the owner of any vehicle licensed hereunder, uses or permits or suffers it to ply for hire for the carriage of passengers or of goods whilst in a condition unfit for public use; or
(g.) Having purchased or otherwise acquired any vehicle licensed hereunder, causes or suffers the same to ply for hire for the carriage of passengers or of goods without having first procured an endorsement of the license as hereinbefore provided, or without having removed the name of the former owner from such vehicle and having painted his own name thereon,—

shall for each such act, offence, default, or omission be guilty of a breach of this by-law, and on conviction shall, in addition to any other special penalty hereinbefore provided for, forfeit and pay such sum, not exceeding 40s., as to the convicting Justices shall seem fit.
