Their
Bill to Establish a Board of
Inspectors for Steam
Boilers.
NUMEROUS AMENDMENTS.
The Qualifications for Appointment—To Pro-
vide for the Licensing .of Engineers
of Steam Engines.
Austin, Tex., March 8.—The following bill
was Introduced to-day by Representatives
Spillane and Stubbs:
An act to establish a board of inspectors
for steam boilers and to provide for
licensing- engineers of steam engines, and
to amend all other chapters of the gen-
eral laws of the state of Texas.
Be it enacted by the legislature of the
state of Texas:
Section 1. That all other chapters of the
general laws of Texas be and the same
are hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 2. There shall be appointed by the
governor a board of three inspectors,
whose duty it shall be to inspect all steam
boilers in use within the state not subject
to inspection under the laws of the United
States, and to examine and grant certiff*'
< ?W's of license to all steam engineers in-
trusted with the care and management of
steam boilers. Said inspectors shall hold
their respective offices for three years
from the dato of appointment, unless
sooner removed for cause by the governor.
Sec. o. No person shall be eligible to
hold the oftlce of inspector of steam boil-
ers who is either directly or indirectly in-
terested in the manufacture or sale of
boilers or steam machinery, or any patent
article required to be used or of
general use in the construction of
steam engines or boilers, or who
is not of good moral character and
suitably quulilied by being a practical boil-
er maker in the manufacture and con-
struction of steam boilers as to enable him
to perform any of the duties of the office.
And no person shall enter upon or perform
any of the duties of inspector who has not
taken and subscribed an oath and filed the
same with the secretary of state that he
will faithfully and impartially perform the
duties of hN ot'llce.
'V3&C 4. (Said inspector* shall, in April next,
after the passage of the act. and each year
thereafter, meet, as a -board at the capitol
in Austin, and establish such rules and reg-
ulations for the inspection of steam boilers
herein provided for as shall be required by
the terms of this chapter. They shall also
prescribe rules and regulations for the in-
spection of machinery, boilers, steam con-
nections and fire engines, and when ap-
proved by the governor, shall have the force
of law.
Sec. 5. 'Every owner, lessee or other per-
son having charge of steam -boilers, not sub-
ject to -inspection under the laws of the
United States, shall cause the same to be
inspected at least once in each year by the
inspectors herein provided for. And every
such owner, lessee or person having charge
of such boilers, who shall raise steam and
operate such boilers and machinery without
such inspection shall 'be subject to a penalty
of $100, said amount to accrue to the state.
'Sec. G. The said. Inspectors shall one in
each year at least, upon application In
writing of the owner, lessee or manager,
carefully inspect the boilers, machinery and
steam connections, and shall satisfy them-
selves that the boiler is made of suitable
material for the service in which it is em-
ployed. When the ■inspection is completed
and the inspectors approve the same, they
shall make and subscribe a certificate to
the secretary of state, in such form as the
board of inspectors shall prescribe. Such
certificate .shall be subscribed and verified
by the oath of the inspector making it, and
a copy of said certificate shall be furnished
by the inspector to the owner, lessee or
manager. The original certificate shall be
kept on fi'e in the office of the secretary of
state.
Sec. 8. The said inspectors shall, in ad-
dition to their duties as Inspectors, inspect
all steam boilers, or steam generators, be-
fore the same shall be used, and once at
least in every year thereafter they shall
subject all boilers to hydrostatic pressure,
and shall satisfy themselves by a thorough
examination that the boilers are well ma'le
of good and substantial material, that the
openings for the passage of water and
»st*aWtyirel»|K»etli'#l>\ Aufliwlr pfptorrland 't«Wes
exposed to heat, are of the proper dimen-
sions and free from obstructions; that the
flues are circular in form; that the fric-
tion (lire line) of the furnace is at least
two inches below the prescribed mini-
mum water line of the boilers; that the ar-
rangements for delivering the feed water
is such that the boilers can not be Injured
thereby, and that such boilers and their
steam connections may be safely employed
without peril to life. They shall also satis-
fy themselves that the safety valves are
of suitable dimensions, sufficient in num-
ber -and properly arranged, and that the
safety valve weights are properly adjusted,
so as to allow of no greater pressure in the
boilers than the amount prescribed by the
inspection certificate; that there is a suf-
ficient number of gauge cocks properly in-
serted and to indicate the pressure of steam,
suitable gauges that will correctly record
the pressure of steam; and that the fusi-
ble metals'are properly inserted so as to
fuse by the heat of the furnace, whenever
the water in the boilers fall* +l>elow Its
uregiTibed limit*, and that .the adeuuute
and certain provisions for an ample sup-
ply to feed the boilers at all times, so that
in high pressure boilers the water shall
not be less than four inches above the
top of the flues, and that means for blow-
ing out are provided, so as to thorough-
ly remove the mud and sediments from
all parts of the boilers, when they are un-
der pressure of steam. In subjecting to
hydrostatic tests, boilers usually desig-
nated as high pressure, inspectors shall
assume 125 pounds to the square inch as
the maximum pressure allowable as a
working pressure for new boilers of forty-
two indhes in diameter, made in the best
manner of plate one-fourth of an inch
thick of good material. 1 int the inspector
shall rate the working power of all
high pressure boilers according to
their strength, compared with this
standard. And in all cases the test applied
shall exceed the working power allowed in
the ratio of 1(35 to 110. In the subjecting
to hydrostatic test boilers usually desig-
nated as low pressure, the inspector shall
allow as a working power for each new
boiler a pressure of one three-fourths the
number of pounds to the square Inch to
which it has been subjected by the hydros-
tatic test. Should the inspectors be of the
opinion that any boiler, by reason of its
construction or material, will not safely
allow so high a working pressure as here-
in provided, they may, for reasons to be
stated specially in their certificate, fix the
pressure of such boiler at less than three-
fourths of the test pressure. No boiler
or steam pipe nor any of the connections
therewith shall be approved which is mad"
in the whole or part of bad material, or
is unsafe from any cause. Nothing herein
shall be construed to prevent the use of
any boiler or steam generator which may
not be constructed of riveted iron or
steel plates when the board of inspectors
have satisfactory evidence that such boiler
or steam generator is equal in strength
and as safe from explosions as boilers of
the best quality, constructed of riveted
iron or steel plates.
, Scr. 7, Eyevy i>c.'iv?nn whp .rfWtmwfcMft'i
Iboiler or steam pipe, ot iron or steam
plates, known to be faulty or imperfect, or
who drifts any rivet holes to make It come
fair, or who delivers any such hollers for
use, knowing it to be Imperfect In its flues,
flanging, riveting, bracing or any other of
its parts, shall be fined $200, one-half for
the use of the informer.
Sec. 9. In addition to the annual inspec-
tion, it shall be the duty of the inspectors
to examine, at proper times, when in their
opinion such examination shall become
necessary, all such boilers as shall become
unsafe from any cause, and to notify, the
owners or persons using such boilers of
any defect, and what repairs are necessary
in order to render them safe. Anil it shall
be the duty of the person operating any
such boiler to cease to use the same until
such repairs are made. Ami in case of
failure to comply with the requirements
of said inspector, the person operating any
such boiler shall be liable to a line not ex-
ceeding $100 and liable for any damage to
person or property therefrom.
Sec. 10. Every steam boiler shall be pro-
vided with n Xuslble plug of good bailed
tin inserted in the flues, crown sheet or
other part of tin- boiler most exposed to
the heat of the furnace when the water
falls below the prescribed limits.
Sec. 11. it shall he the dutv of the
owners or managers of steam boilers men-
tioned in this act to allow said inspectors
free access to same, and it is hereby made
the duty of engineers operating the same
to assist the inspectors in their exami-
nation and to point out any defect they
may know in the boiler or ^machinery iii
their charge.
See. 12. No person shall be intrusted with
the operation of any steam boiler or steam
machinery who has not been examined by
an inspet tor and found competent to per-
form the duties of an engineer and re-
ceived from such inspector a written or
printed license to so.act. Engineers shall
be divided into three classes, viz: Chief
engineer, assistant engineer and special
engineer. No license shall be granted to
any person to perform the duties of chief
engineer whose knowledge of steam ma-
chinery and experience as an engineer is
not such as to justify the belief that he is
competent to take charge of all classes of
boilers and machinery. No license shall
be granted to any person to act as assist
ant engineer unless his knowledge of steam
machinery and habits of life are such as
to warrant the belief that he is competent
to manage safely and without danger to
life ordinary steam machinery. Special
engineers may be licensed tQ operate steam
thresher engines and engines of kindred
class, where found on examination to be
sufficiently acquainted with the duties of
an engineer to warrant the belief that he
can safely be Intrusted to perform such
duty. Whencwr « omplaint is made against
an engineer holding a license from a state
inspector that he has, through negligence,
Wiint of skill, or inattention to duty, per-
mitted his boilers i«» burn or otherwise be-
come In bad condition, it shall be the duty
of the inspector, upon satisfactory proof of
such negligence, to revoke the license of
such engineer. . . . i
| .l&Jii; maiden .inspection' of boilers,
machinery and steam connections, herein
provided for, the inspector may act jointly
or separately, but the Inspector or inspect-
ors making such Inspection shall in all
cases subscribe and make oath to the cer-
tificate of inspection. Any inspector who
shall wilfully certify falsely regarding any
■steam boilers or their attachments, shall, on
conviction 'thereof, be punished by a. line
not exceeding -f-V'O or imprisonment not. ex-
ceeding one year in the state prison, or
both, at the discretion of the court!
Sec. 11. The inspectors shall be authorized
to charge a fee of §•") for the inspection of
each single boiler and its steam connections,
and $2 each for each additional boiler when
connected, said fee being payable at the
time of delivery of the inspector's certifi-
cate o!' approval. The fee for the examina-
tion of engineers and for the Issuing < a
license certificate shall be $1.50, and for the
annual renewal of the same $1, said amounts
to be equally divided among the inspectors,
who shall receive no other compensation
for their services.
Sec. 15. This act shall not -apply to rail-
road locomotives nor to boilers own^d
or controlled by railway companies,
'but should they require the ser-
vieu of the state inspectors they
will pay them the regular fee. En-
gineers employed by railroad companies
shall be required to procure licenses from
the state board of inspectors, but the pen-
alties herein provided for shall not obtain
in any case prior to the time the inspector
or inspectors have notified the persons af-
fected that they are ready to make the in-
spection as herein provided for.
Sec. 1(». All acts or parts of acts incon-
sistent with this act are hereby repealed.
Sec. 17. This act shall take effect and be
in force from the time it is passed.
IA CURIOUS CASE.
A curious breach of the Sunday law came
up recently in a London police court. The
International tract society, the agent of a
Sa/bbatarian Christian sect which preaches
the observance of Saturday instead of Sun-
day, was complained of for violating the
factories act by employing labor on Sun-
day. Although the law makes provision for
Jews working on Sunday, it does not for
Christians, and though it was shown that
no work was done by the society on Satur-
day, and that Friday was kept as a half-
holiday, a fine was imposed.
