§ 31-31. Fee.

At the time of issuance of a permit under this article, the permittee shall pay to the city secretary the sum of fifty dollars ($50.00) for each taxicab to be operated in the city for a twelve-month period ending December 31; provided that, if such permit is granted for less than the full year, the permittee shall pay to the city an amount prorated according to the number of months for which the permit is issued. Provided, however, that the fifty dollar ($50.00) permit fee is not intended to exceed two (2) percent of the gross receipts per annum, as allowed by Art. 6698, Texas Statutes, and that in the event that two (2) percent of the gross receipts do not exceed fifty dollars ($50.00), the permittee may at the end of the year file a written request for refund setting out the facts on gross receipts, and the city secretary shall after examination and approval of said request refund any amount due so that the permit fee shall not exceed two (2) percent of gross receipts per annum.
