(2.) Every person desirous of obtaining a certificate of his ability to drive a motor-car shall make application to the County Clerk.

(3.) The fee for every such certificate shall be, in the case of a motor-car 10s., and in the case of a motor-cycle 5s.

9. For the purpose of this by-law the word “owner” shall include as well as the true owner the person for the time being having the custody, control, and the use of the motor-car; and the word “driver” shall mean the person having the actual control, conduct, and charge of any motor-car being upon any county road.
