      to  consist  of  one experienced master plumber representing each of the
      established and recognized master plumbers'  associations,  or  branches
      thereof,  in  the  five  boroughs  of  the  city,  and  one  experienced
      journeyman  plumber  representing   the   established   and   recognized
      organization  having  jurisdiction over journeyman plumbers in the city.
      Such committee members shall be named once each year  by  the  incumbent
