§ 48:16-24.
No autobus as defined herein shall be operated wholly or partly along any street in
any city until the owner or owners thereof shall obtain the consent of the board or
body having control of public streets in such city for the operation of such autobus
and the use of any street or streets of said city. No such consent shall become effective and no such operation shall be permitted until
the owner of such autobus (including, for purposes of this section, autobusses with
carrying capacity of not more 20 passengers) in any city shall have filed with the
chief fiscal officer of the city in which said autobus shall be licensed and operated
an insurance policy of a company duly licensed to transact business under the insurance
laws of this State in the sum of $10,000.00 against loss from the liability imposed
by law upon the autobus owner for damages on account of bodily injury or death suffered
by any one person and in the sum of $100,000.00 on account of bodily injury or death
suffered by more than one person, and in the sum of $5,000.00 against loss on account
of property damage suffered by any person or persons as a result of an accident occurring
by reason of the ownership, maintenance or use of such autobus upon the public streets
of such city, and such consent shall continue effective and such operation be permitted
only so long as such insurance to the full and collectible amount of $10,000.00 for
one person and $100,000.00 for more than one person for bodily injuries or death and
$5,000.00 for property damage shall remain in force, during the entire term of the
policy. Such insurance policy shall provide for the payment of any final judgment recovered
by any person on account of the ownership, maintenance and use of such autobus or
any fault in respect thereto and shall be for the benefit of any person suffering
loss, damage or injury as aforesaid. A power of attorney shall be executed and delivered to such fiscal officer concurrently
with the filing of a policy hereinbefore referred to, wherein and whereby the said
owner shall nominate, constitute and appoint such fiscal officer his true and lawful
attorney for the purpose of acknowledging service of any process out of a court of
competent jurisdiction to be served against the insured by virtue of the indemnity
granted under the insurance policy filed. Any such consent may be revoked by the board or body of the municipality granting
the same after notice and hearing whenever it shall appear that the person to whom
such consent was granted has failed to furnish and keep in force the insurance and
the power of attorney herein required, or to comply with any terms or conditions imposed
by the board or body granting such consent or any law of this State.
