WM. PRESTON LANE, JR., GOVERNOR. 1865

the decision of the Circuit Court shall be appealable to the
Court of Appeals of Maryland by either party, providing such
appeal is entered within twenty days after the judgment of
the Circuit Court is rendered. Every person owning or oper-
ating any such taxicab in violation of any of the provisions
of this sub-title, or, in violation of the rules and regulations
aforesaid of the County Commissioners, shall, cumulatively,
but not in substitution for any other process or method of
remedial procedure or legal redress prescribed, by this sub-
title or otherwise, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and,
upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not less than Five
Dollars ($5.00), nor more than Fifty Dollars ($50.00), for
the first offense, and a fine of not less than Ten Dollars
($10.00) nor more than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for
each additional or subsequent offense. No permit shall be
assigned or transferred until the County Commissioners upon
written application setting forth the purpose, terms and con-
ditions of such assignment or transfer, shall, after investiga-
tion, approve the same. The Commissioners may amend, or,
for sufficient cause shown, suspend or revoke any such permit.
Each permit shall be evidence of authority to operate only
the particular taxicab therein designated, and shall continue
in force and effect, unless suspended or revoked, for the year
for which it was issued. Upon application, at the termina-
tion of each year, the Commissioners may renew any permit
or issue a new permit for the ensuing year.

354. The owner of every taxicab for which a permit is
required under the provisions of this sub-title, shall, before
operating or continuing to operate the same on public streets
or highways in Howard County, take out a liability insurance
policy or policies in some responsible insurance company,
authorized to transact business in this State, insuring such
owner against liability for personal injury or injuries to a
passenger or passengers in such taxicab, and to a member or
members of the general public, resulting from an accident or
accidents, casualty or casualties, in which such taxicab may
become involved, through the recklessness or negligence of its
owner or operator as well as against any damage to property,
resulting from such an accident or accidents, casualty or
casualties; said policy or policies to be in such reasonable form
or forms as to amount or amounts of insurance and other
respects as may be approved by the Commissioners. Any
policy of insurance shall not be revocable by either party to
the contract except after five days' notice to the Commis-
sioners, furnished by the insurance or casualty company
issuing such policy.
