We do not know of any other source where the information here in contained can be found. It is a supplement to the volume we published in 1896. Much of the work attached to gathering up the subject matter of the report was furnished the undersigned by the license committee of the preceding two years, Messrs. John W. Lane, Jr., R. I. i ; Alfred Johnson, Ills. 28, and Jonathan R. Moore, Ills. I. We do not know that the report is complete in that it has all the laws in force in the United States and the several laws herein pub- lished are not the whole laws as they stand on the statute books of the several states and municipalities. It must be borne in mind that most of the laws in force in the several localities are combined with the Boiler Inspection laws and we have purposely eliminated all paragraphs that refer solely to that subject. Copies hereof may be obtained by addressing the National Secretary of this organiz- ation. Respectfully submitted, Charles W. Naylor, Ills. 28. Alfred Johnson, Ills. 28. Frank J. Wood, N. Y. 31.

A person holding an engi- neer's or firemen's Hcense, who desires to have charge of or to operate a particular steam plant or type of plant may, providing he holds an engineer's or firemen's license, if he files with his application a written request signed by the owner or user of said plant for such examination, be examined as to his competence for such service, and no , other, and if found competent and trustworthy shall be granted a license for such service and no other. No special license shall be granted to give any person charge of a plant over one hundred and fifty horse-power. Sec. 83. The horse power of a boiler shall be ascertained upon the basis of three horse power for each square foot of grate surface, for a power boiler, and on the basis of one and one-half horse power for each square foot of grate surface, if the boiler is used for heat- ing purposes exclusively. The engine power shall be reckoned upon a basis of a mean effective pressure of forty pounds per square inch of piston for a simple engine ; fifty pounds for a condensing engine ; and seventy pounds for a compound engine, reckoned upon area of high pressure piston. Sec. 84. A person who is aggrieved with the action of an exam- iner in refusing or revoking a license may, within one month after his decision, appeal therefrom to the remaining exam,iners, who shall together act as a board of appeal, and a majority of whom shall have the power to hear the parties and pass upon the subjects of appeal.

Second. No license shall be granted to any person to act as first class engineer who has not taken and subscribed an oath that he has had at least three (3) years actual experience in operating steam boilers and steam machinery, and whose experience and habits of life are not such as to warrant the belief that he is competent to take charge of all classes of steam boilers and steam machinery not ex- ceeding three hundred (300) horse power. Third. No license shall be granted to any person to' act as sec- ond class engineer who has not taken and subscribed an oath that he has had at least one (i) year of actual experience in operat- ing steam boilers and steam machinery, or whose experience and habits of life are not such as to warrant the belief that he is com- 10 Report of License Committee petent to take charge of all classes of steam boilers and steam machinery not to exceed one hundred (lOo) horse power. Fourth. No license shall be granted to any person to act "as special engineer unless found upon examination to be sufficiently acquainted with the duties of an engineer to warrant the belief that he can be safely entrusted with steam boilers and steam machinery not to exceed thirty (30) horse power. Whenever complaint is made by any person against any engineer holding a license, that he has through negligence, want of skill, inattention to duty, or violation of any part of this act, permitted his boiler to burn or otherwise become in bad condition, it shall be the duty of the inspector who granted the license, upon satisfac- tory proof of such negligence or otherwise, to revoke the license of such engineer. Said engineer may however, in case of a grievance against said inspector and person making such complaint, appeal to the entire board and governor of the state, who shall decide the case, which decision shall be final and conclusive. Sec. II. In making the inspection of boilers, machinery or steam vessels herein provided for, the inspectors may act jointly or sep- arately, but the inspector of inspectors making such inspection shall in all cases subscribe an oath to the certificate of inspection. And any inspector who shall wilfully certify falsely regarding any steam boilers or their attachments or the hull and equipments of any steam vessel, or who shall grant a certificate of license to any per- son to act as engineer, master or pilot, contrary to the provisions of this act, shall on conviction thereof be fined not less than fifty (50) dollars nor to exceed five hundred (500) dollars or may be impris oned not to exceed one (i) year in the state prison or both at the discretion of the court, and in all cases removed from office. All the fines of this act not otherwise disposed of shall accrue to the state. Sec. 12 When the inspector or inspectors shall find after proper tests and examination of a steam boiler or steam generator, as herein provided, that the same is safe and suitable for use, such inspector or inspectors shall make and subscribe a sworn and verified certificate to the secretary of state, in such form as the board of inspectors shall prescribe, and which among other things shall contain a specification of the test applied and the working power allowed, and a copy of the said certificate shall be furnished by the inspector to the owner of the boiler or steam generator. Such copy so furnished the owner of such boiler or generator shall be by him placed or posted in a National Association of Stationary Engineers. ii conspicuous position on such boiler or generator, and shall so re- main. The inspectors shall be authorized to charge a fee of three (3) dollars for the inspection of each single boiler and its steam connections and two (2) dollars for each additional boiler when connected and inspected at the same time. Said fees shall be pay- able at the time of the delivery of the inspector's certificate of ap- proval. The fees for the examination of applicants for engineer's license shall be one ( i ) dollar, and for the biennial renewal of cer- tificates of license, the fee shall be one (i) dollar, which fee shall accompany the application.

Nor shall it apply to boilers inspected by insurance companies and certified by their au- thorized inspectors to be safe. Provided, further, That the pen- alties provided for in this act shall not apply in any case where prior to the time the inspector or inspectors, have after the application has been made provided for in this act, notified the persons affected that they are ready to make the inspection as herein provided for. Sec. 16. The board of boiler inspectors may appoint one (i) or more deputies in the several counties of this state, which depu- ties shall have the same qualifications as are herein prescribed for boiler inspectors, and shall qualify by taking the oath prescribed by section two (2) of this act, and such deputies shall have the author- ity within the county for which they are appointed as the chief boiler inspectors under the provisions of this act. MONTANA. Sec. 550. There must be appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, one Inspector of Boilers, whose duty it is to inspect all steam boilers now in use in the state, not subject to inspection under the laws of the United States, and to examine and grant licenses to steam engineers intrusted with the care and management of steam boilers and steam machinery. The salary of the Inspector of Boilers is twenty- four hundred dollars per year, and his term of office is four years, unless sooner removed 12 Report of License Committee by the Governor. The Inspector of Boilers must execute an official bond in the sum of five thousand dollars. Sec. 551. No person is eligible to hold the office of Inspector of Boilers and steam machinery who has not had at least five years of actual practice in the operations of steam engines, steam boilers and steam machinery, or who is directly or indirectly interested in the manufacture or sale of boilers or steam machinery, or any patented article required to be sold. Sec. 558. It is the duty of the owners or managers of steam boilers to allow the Inspector free access to the same, and the engi- neer operating the same must assist the Inspectors in their examina- tions and point out any defects they may know in the boilers or ma- chinery in their charge. Any engineer not complying with this sec- tion shall have his license revoked or be suspended. Sec. 559. No person must be granted a license to operate steam boilers or steam machinery under the provisions of this Article who has not been examined by an Inspector and found competent to per- form the duties of an engineer and receive from such Inspector a written or -printed license so to act. Any person who operates any steam boiler or steam engines without first obtaining a license from an Tnspector or an Assistant Inspector is guilty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 561. Whenever complaint is made against an engineer, holding a license from the Inspector, that he, through negligence, want of skill, or inattention to duty, permitted his boiler to, burn, or otherwise become in a bad condition, or that he has been found intoxicated while on duty, it is the duty of the Inspector or Assistant Inspector to make a thorough investigation of the charge, and upon satisfactory proof of such charge to revoke the license of such engi- neer.

Sec. 564. If any person who has applied for a license as a first or second or third class engineer, under the provisions of this Arti- cle, and has been rejected, feels aggrieved, he may at any time after the lapse of ten days, and within ninety after the date of his rejec- tion, by petition in writing, set forth the causes of his grievance and demand another examination. Such petition must be addressed to and served upon the Inspector, and shall be duly verified by the rejected applicant, and accompanied by the required fee for a sec- ond examination. Within two days after receiving such petition and fee, it is the duty of the Inspector to notify the applicant in writing that on a day certain, which shall not be less than five or more than forty days after the date of the service of the petition upon such In- spector, he will be ready to grant him another examination. At least two days before the day set for the examination the applicant must designate in writing to such Inspector the name of an engineer holding a certificate of equal grade with the one applied for, and such engineer may present himself upon the day and at the hour fixed for the re-examination. ■■ 1 Sec. 565. Upon the same day, or any day prior to the date set for such examination, the Inspector and selected engineer must in writing agree upon and designate and notify a third disinterested engineer holding a license applied for by the rejected applicant, to sit with them. On the day and hour set for such re-examination all three of such board, that is, the Inspector and the engineer selected by the applicant and the engineer agreed upon by them, must proceed to carefully re-examine such applicant and fully and fairly test his qualifications and capabilities to receive a license such as he has applied for. After such examination is completed, if a majority of such board decide that such applicant is entitled to the license he has applied for, or any license of inferior grade, the Inspector must with- out delay issue a certificate accordingly, but if a majority of such board reject the applicant, it is a final rejection, and he must not be granted another examination for the space of ninety days after such last rejection, when he may again apply to the Inspectoi or Assist- ant Inspector as provided by Section 563, of this Article, and no per- son must be granted more than one re-examinatipn before a board 14 Report of License Committee under the provisions of this Article. One-half of the fee which may have accompanied any rejected applicant's petition for re-examina- tion must be awarded by the Inspector to each of the engineers who sit on any such examining board, and in case the applicant is granted a license the fee paid when he was first rejected is the fee for the issuing of such license granted by any board. In case any engi- neer selected or agreed upon as by this section is provided fails or neglects to appear or serve, another may be selected in his place in the manner herein provided. Sec. 568. It is unlawful for any person in the State to operate a stationary boiler or steam engine, or any boiler or steam engine other than railroad locomotives or other engines or boilers exempted in Section 566, of this Article, without a license granted under the provisions of this Article. The owner, renter, or user of the steam engine or boiler is equally liable for violations of this section. But in case of accident, sickness, refusal to work, or any unforeseen pre- vention of the licensed engineer employed by any owner, renter, or user of a steam engine or boiler, operated in remote districts, which would retard the work to be performed, the owner, renter, or user, may, for the space of four weeks, employ any person not having a li- cense, whom he may consider competent to run the engine or boiler. The person so employing the unlicensed engineer must immediately notify the Inspector or Assistant Inspector. Sec. 569. All violations of the provisions of this Article are pro- vided for in the Penal Code, Sections 633 to 635 and 657. Sec. 633.

Sec. 3. That Section 560 of the Political Code be, and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Sec. 560. Engineers entrusted with the care and manageriient of steam machinery as specified in Section 559, must be divided into three classes, namely: First class engineers. Second class engineers, and Third class engineers. No license must be granted to any person to perform the duties of First class engineer who has not taken and subscribed an oath that he has had at least three years experience in the operation of steam boilers and steam machinery, or whose knowledge and experience is not such as to justify the belief that he is competent to take charge of all classes of steam boilers and steam machinery. No license must be granted to any person to act as Second class engineer who has not taken and subscribed an oath that he has had at least two years' experience in the operation of steam boilers and steam machinery, and is, on examination, found competent to take charge of all classes of steam boilers and steam machinery, not exceeding one hundred horse power. No license must be granted to any person to act as Third class engineer, who has not served at least one year as fireman under a competent engi- neer and found upon examination to be sufficiently acquainted with 1 6 Report of License Committee the duties of an engineer to be entrusted with steam boilers and steam machinery, not exceeding twenty horse power. All firemen who have charge of steam boilers as to the regulation of feed, water and fuel, where the boilers are so situated as not at all time to be un- der the eye of the engineer in charge, are required to pass a' Third class engineer's examination and procure the same kind of a license. Engineers holding licenses of any of the above classes and who are entrusted with the care and management of traction engines or engines or boilers on wheels, other than locomotives, are required to pass an examinatidn as to their competency to operate such class of machinery and to procure a license to be known as a Traction Li- cense. Such Traction License shall not entitle the holder thereof to operate any other class of steam machinery specified in Section 559. No license shall be granted to any person to act as traction engineer who is not found, upon examination, to be sufficiently acquainted with the duties of a Traction Engineer to be entrusted with the care of traction engines.

The Inspector or Assistant Inspectors are authorized to charge a fee of ten dollars for the inspection of each single boiler and its steam connection and five dollars for each additional boiler when connected. The fee for the inspection of each traction engine or boiler on wheels shall be ten dollars. The fee for the inspection of boilers in incorporated cities shall be five dollars. Such fees shall be payable at the time of the delivery of the Inspectors certificate of inspection. The fee for the examination of applicants for engi- neers licenses is $7.50 for the First class engineers, $5.00 for Second class engineers, $3.00 for Third class engineers and $3.00 for Trac- tion engineers ; to be paid at the time of the application for license. In case of the failure of any applicant to pass a successful exam- ination ninety days must elapse before he can again be examined as an applicant for license in the class for which he was examined.
