FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY
OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS:
SECTION 1. Section 3, III(e) of Ordinance No. 13,798
is hereby amended to read:
(e) Insurance. Before any taxicab permit is issued
for the operation of such cab, the owner shall
file with the City Manager or designated agent
a copy of a policy of insurance issued by
some good and solvent incorporated insurance
company licensed to do business in the State
of Arkansas, covering separately, or on a
schedule attached to such policy, each taxi-
cab to be operated under the direction of
such owner. Said policy must secure payment,
in accordance with the provisions thereof,
to any person, except employees of the owner,
for personal injuries to such persons and for
any damage to property, except property owned
by, rented to, leased to, in charge of, or
transported by the owner, other than bag-
gage of passengers, caused by the operation
of such taxicab, for the following amounts:
$50,000 for the injury or death of any one
(1) person and subject to that limit for
each person; $100,000 for each accident, and
for damage to property, $25,000 for each
accident. Each insurance company and owner
is required to notify the City upon lapse or
cancellation of such policy. Upon the lapse
of such policy, the taxicab permit granted
to such owner is automatically revoked as the
date the insurance ceases to be in effect;
and it will thereafter be unlawful to operate
such taxicab upon the streets, public ways,
or alleys of the City of Little Rock.
SECTION 2. Declaring an Emergency. Because there is
need to provide the citizens of the City of Little Rock with
adequate taxicab service, and the previous Ordinance did not meet
the needs of the citizens and because this Ordinance will alle-
viate those problems, an emergency is declared to exist. This
Ordinance is found to be necessary for the public peace, health
and safety of the public. This Ordinance shall be in full force
and effect frozri.and after its passage and approval.
