When the contractor presents his application properly filled out and signed, the inspector numbers it with the same number he placed on the plans and specifications, and the application Is then filed away, to be entered later on the record card which bears the same number. Each contractor on the structural work must sign the application, as must also the owner of the building, or his agent. When permit is issued, it is numbered same as the number on the plans and the date of issue entered on the con- tractors application.
