No person, firm or corporation shall engage in the business of wiring, rewiring, installing, repairing or altering any electrical wiring, or installing or repairing any electrical apparatus, appliances or fixtures of any kind or description, as an electrical contractor within the limits of any city or county within the provisions of this act without securing from the joint electrical examining and appeal board herein created, a license. Said applicant shall file with the electrical inspector, an application showing the name of the person, firm or corporation in whose name it is desired that the license be issued, the kind of license applied for, the name of the certificate holder, the number and date of such certificate, and such further and other information as may be required by the electrical inspector. Said application shall be signed by the applicant, or a member of the firm, or an authorized officer of the corporation making the application and shall also be signed by the holder of the certificate and shall be attached to the application. The electrical inspector, if said application is correct, shall approve said application and retain for his file, the certificate of the joint electrical examining and appeal board, upon furnishing the applicant with a proper receipt therefor; if such certificate is withdrawn by the owner thereof, said license shall become inoperative and no further permits shall be issued by the electrical inspector under such license. Such license may be reinstated and rendered operative by the filing with the electrical inspector, of another proper certificate of the joint electrical examining and appeal board.
