§ 25-43. Investigation of applicant, records, etc., to be considered.

The chief of police shall make or cause to be made such investigation of the character, experience and qualifications of the applicant desiring a city chauffeur's license as may be deemed consistent and judicious; and he shall determine whether or not the applicant is fit and qualified to drive and operate a taxicab within the corporate limits of the city in a manner consistent with the welfare of the public. In determining whether the city chauffeur's license should be granted or rejected, the chief of police shall consider any record or driving violations and any record of the applicant for committing sex offenses, narcotic law violations, liquor law violations, offenses involving habitual or chronic use of alcohol, and other crimes involving moral turpitude, and if, in the opinion of the chief of police, such record reflects the present character or propensity to continue such violations, then he may reject the application.
