Township that the applicant is capable of doing the proposed plumbing
work and installation so as not to result in a health menace or hazard.
C.
Registration of state-licensed master plumbers.

licensed by virtue of the provisions of the State Plumbing License
Law of 1968 shall, prior to engaging in the business of or performing

there shall be submitted a report of such violation to the State Board
of Examiners of Master Plumbers, for its information and action, if
