Sec. 491(4). Registration of plumbers.

Every person engaged, or about to engage, in the plumbing
business in the City, as a master or journeyman plumber, or
any person coming from other places for the purpose of engaging
in the plumbing business in the City as a master or journeyman
plumber shall appear in person before the plumbing inspector
and receive a certificate of registry upon satisfactory proof that
he is a master or practical journeyman plumber; and no person
other than a registered plumber shall be allowed to engage in
plumbing or make any connection with a sewer, drain, soil, waste,
or water pipe or any other pipe connected therewith.

Upon satisfactory proof that the certificate of registration of
a master or journeyman plumber was obtained through fraud or
error or the recipient thereof is shown to be dishonest, grossly
incompetent or repeatedly neglectful of the rules and regulations
herein contained, the City Manager shall revoke the certificate of
registration, with the right on the part of the person whose certificate
is revoked to appeal to the City Council.
