a bond in the sum of five hundred ($500.00) dollars with sufficient
surety to be approved by the board of health, and file the bond with
the board, conditioned for the faithful performance on his part of
his duties as required by this chapter. The inspector shall receive
in lieu of salary all fees for inspection.
Before doing any plumbing work within the borough limits a master
plumber shall obtain from the board of health a license if not previously
issued by the state. Before any license is issued, the applicant shall
present to the secretary of the board of health two written recommendations
and answer such other questions which may be asked to prove that he
has done plumbing work of the best quality.
Before a license is issued to any master plumber, he shall execute
and file with the board of health a bond with at least one surety,
to be approved by the board, and drawn in the sum of one thousand
($1,000.00) dollars. The bond shall be renewed yearly on April 1.

on April 1 at a renewal fee of twenty-five ($25.00) dollars.
A master plumber shall be held responsible for the violation
of any rules of the board of health by journeymen plumbers or others
in his employ. No master plumber shall permit the use of his name
by any other person, either for the purpose of obtaining permits or
doing any work under his license.
A license granted hereunder may be suspended or revoked by the
board of health if a master plumber violates any of these rules and
regulations or any provision of the plumbing code, or if he refuses
or neglects to make necessary corrections to work of which the board
of health or its authorized agent withhold approval, within five days
after notification. A license issued to any person shall immediately
become inoperative at the time the representative leaves the employ
of such person. A master plumber's license shall not be transferred
to any successor, nor shall it be transferred to any person under
any circumstances.
