these defects and their qualifications as engineers
| The inspectors have made so many engineers OF
late that have not any right to have q license, ana

to the level of the eugineef who sprung from The

inspectors cease licensing men totally unit for the
profession, and without an examination as to his
qualifications, there viii be more disasters Com
lpetent men would report all infrmgements on the
law if they could be sustained in their position.
4 Now, sir / viii say to the public, if they will
sustain the engineers in thei1 duty as engineers
and try and check the inspectors in their whole
sale way OF licensing men to act as engineers,
think there may, in the course of time, be fewer
disasters l say in the course of time, for it will
take time to GET all Of the engineers to undergo an
examination, which ought to be done. Il the in,
spectors have not the time, let them pick board
) Of liz engineers to examine all applicants for
license and renewal which the engineers would
Gladly do, in Justice 10 themselves and to the
9ublic, The public demand that something should
| be done to stop the wholesale slaughter OF the
Deople, and by a concert of action on the part Of
INSPECTORS and engineers, the thing may be brought
) about, and the class Of engineers would be Of
better quality
have now said enough on this subject for tht
present. You may hear from me again.
