There shall be three (3) classifications of competency as herein defined:
A. Gas Fitting Contractor: Such contractor shall be any person or firm skilled in the planning and supervision of the installation of gas piping, venting and equipment, and who is familiar with the laws, rules and regulations covering the same, and who is competent to assume work on a contract basis and to direct the work of qualified employees. A gas fitting contractor who does gas fitting work shall also be qualified as a journeyman gas fitter, or have in his employ on all gas fitting work a qualified journeyman gas fitter.
B. Journeyman Gas Fitter: A journeyman gas fitter shall be any person who, as part of his principal occupation, is engaged in the practical installation of gas piping and equipment, and who is familiar with the code requirements governing the same, and who works under the direction of a gas fitting contractor.
C. Apprentice Gas Fitter: An apprentice gas fitter is any person other than a journeyman who, as part of his principal occupation, is engaged in learning and assisting in the installation of gas piping and equipment. Apprentices shall not perform gas installation except under the supervision of a licensed journeyman gas fitter. (1960 Code, Sec. 3-515)
Before any person shall carry on or engage in the work or business of making gas installations, he shall procure a license applicable to the classification in which he proposes to work and pay the annual license fee imposed on such classification. Such license shall not be transferable. Every applicant for license shall present a certificate of competency as proof that he has been approved by the board of examiners as competent for the classification sought. If the applicant is a partnership, firm or corporation, the application shall be made by a bona fide member or agent thereof; provided, however, that any person in actual charge of the licensee's gas installation business, where the licensee is a partnership, firm or corporation, shall be a licensed gas fitting contractor. When any person is designated and authorized to be or act as an agent for the applicant, such authorization shall be in writing, signed by the applicant and the person designated, one copy of which shall be filed with the examining board and one copy filed in the office of the city clerk.
