to the City for its approval and fares shall be charged in accordance with
such approved schedule. Any changes in the fare schedule must be approved
by the City. All fares shall be nondiscriminatory. The foregoing clause
shall not be construed so as to forfeit the right of Grantee to transport,
at its option, free of charge its hotel patrons from the hotel to any
designated location and return as deemed necessary by the Grantee. In such
an event, the calculation of net profit shall exclude the cost of the
transportation of such hotel patrons. The trains shall be operated during
times of need and on such schedules deemed by Grantee to be the most
advantageous to the general public.
(2) The miniature trains to be used in the operations,
a franchise for which is herein granted, shall be of the type illustrated
in Exhibit "A ", attached hereto and made a part of this franchise.

expense.
(4) Before conducting any business, the Grantee shall carry
for the benefit of the public, naming the City as insured, public liability

Director of Finance of the City of Corpus Christi, a statement showing
