tion for renewal is made prior to May 1st of each year. Any license which
has not been renewed by May 1st may, in the discretion of the Director,
be renewed prior to June 1st upon the payment by the licensee of the
renewal fee plus a delinquency penalty of ten dollars ($10.00). Any

(a)    Every licensed gas fitter and apprentice gas fitter shall have
in his possession at all times when engaged in gas fitting work a card to
be furnished by the Department showing that he is the holder of a license
issued pursuant to these regulations and he shall exhibit the same upon
request.

this subtitle shall be conspicuously displayed in the office or place of busi-
ness of the licensee.

play on each motor vehicle used in pursuit of his trade, a sign having
