§ 52-5. Owner's license required.

It shall be unlawful for any owner of any vehicle to permit the same to be operated as a taxicab, limousine, private livery car or private livery van upon the streets, highways, avenues or public places located within the Town of North Hempstead without having first obtained and having then in force an owner's license therefor as hereinafter provided. The fact that a vehicle is being operated as a taxicab, limousine, private livery car or private livery van shall be presumptive evidence that it is being operated by permission of the owner. All provisions of this article which apply to taxicabs, limousines and private livery vans shall also apply to private livery cars.
