respects, as. may be approved by the Commission. Provided,
however, that the Commission may, should it afterwards de-
termine that any bond given under this section, is inadequate,
in any respect, to protect such passengers or members of the
general public, order the execution of a new or additional bond.
Any such policy of insurance or bond shall not be revocable
by either party to the contract except after five days' notice to
the Commission, furnished by the insurance company or the
casualty or surety company issuing such policy or bond.

361C. On and after January 1, 1932, no taxicab, for which
such permit shall have been issued, shall be operated except by
the owner thereof or an employee of the owner, and it shall be
unlawful for the owner of any such taxicab to enter into any
contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding, express
or implied, with an operator thereof, by the terms of which
such operator pays to, or for the account of, such owner a fixed
or determinable sum for the use of such taxicab, and is entitled
to all or a portion of the proceeds arising from its operation.

36ID. The owner shall post in a conspicuous place, in each
of the taxicabs owned by him, for which a permit shall have
been issued, a schedule of the fares to be collected from pas-
sengers, and such schedule shall be so printed and arranged
that such passengers can readily determine the exact fare pay-
able by them, and it shall be unlawful to collect any fare other-
wise than as appearing on, and determinable from, said sched-
ule. Each taxicab, for which a permit has been issued, shall be
equipped, while being used in the taxicab service, with accurate
taximeters properly installed and connected, which taximeters
shall be used exclusively as the means of measuring the charges
for taxicab service rendered. When a fixed charge is made by
zone, the extent of the zone shall be expressed in mileage. Such
meters shall be subject to inspection and test by the Public
Service Commission at the expense of the owner.

36IE. The full name of the owner of each taxicab for which
a permit has been issued shall be permanently painted on one
door on each side of the cab, in letters at least two and one-
half inches high, and the word "taxicab" shall also appear con-
spicuously upon the vehicle. Whenever any owner shall file
an application for the issuance of a permit under the provi-
sions of this sub-title relating to taxicabs, it shall be the duty
of the Commission to investigate the name, design and colors
