the security required to be given for such purpose by the legislation of the
Village.

him to show cause at a time and place specified in said notice why said license
should not be revoked on account of such alleged violation and after he shall

operate as a suspension of the license held by any copartner in the same business
or of any person in his employ, and no permit shall be granted to any person
interested in the business of plumbing or sewer pipe laying or to any person
occupying the same premises with any plumber or sewer pipe layer until the
