Appendix 2479. Taxicab meter and rates.

Each taxicab must be equipped with a taxi meter which will correctly compute and indicate the amount charged, distance traveled or time elapsed and must be affixed to the taxicab in such a manner that the reading dial showing the amount to be and being charged can be readily discernible from the passenger compartment during all times that such taxi meter is operating. Every person holding an Owner's License required by this Article must before operating or allowing his employees or agent to operate any taxicab, file with the Sheriff a schedule of the rate of fare to be charged to the public. Such rates may be changed at any time by filing a new schedule of rates with the Sheriff. It is unlawful for any owner or operator to charge a rate different from that on file in the Sheriff's office.
