I have read the amended version of No. 17 with the addition'al provision, specifically section 5, No. 2, which states,

"Tl)e Sanggur*iang Panglungsod mdy grdnt francbise to op*rdtars of triqtcles far hire upon tbe recommenc{,,ation of the VC'fiFB,,,

while this amendnrent may be sufficienr ro nullift the princrple of "delegatws non potest del*garer, ,inrhich was rny previous reason for vetoing this orcrinance, I feel that thc amendment needr stronger phraseology to emphasize the fact that -1 it u,ill still be the Sangquniung panglungsod as a whole and in forma-l session, that rvi[ grant-frarichises to would be operators of tricycles for hire.

Perhaps this specific provision rn i]l bc better wordeel in the following manner,

nTbe parcglwngsad .Sanggur;iang mey only grant francbises to operators af nicycles for hire tbat baae beerc recomtnended, by VCTFB.,

In another matter, Section B, No. 4 states to wit:

'An olperator can only be granted one (1) francbiy to coaer one (I) tricycle unit.,' This provision may be misinre{preted in the future operator that an cafl only be granted a franchise once. perhaps be it wilr better worded in dr. foUo*irrg manner,

'An operator rnast apply for d separdte franchise for e{&cb triqtcie-ui;t ,lror he wisbes to operdte for public transportation,,,

On a final note, I wish to state for the record that message, this is not a veto f am merely pomflng out several Ordinance provisions of this to the City Council that ma rnisinteqpretahons y be open for future by *:e public which rve all senre. srgn I will be glad to an verslcn of this ordinance if the council chooses to heed my .In any case, f comrnend you for your efforts.
