STATIONARY ENGINES IN THE CITY,
Last evening the Committee on Law, of Coun-
cis met to consider resolution directing
them TO report an ordinance for the appoint
ment Of an Inspector of Stationary Steam En-.
gines and Boilers, in conformity to an act passed
by Assembly, and approved May Z, 1864.
This act referred to authorizes the Mayor TO
nominate in the month of June, annually, and
by and with the advice of the Select Council,
appoint person skilful and competent. The
Inspector IS to carefully examine all stationary
engines and boilers in use after the passage Of
the act, and no boiler or engine is to be put In
use until examined by the Inspector, and his
certificate obtained that the boilers and engines
are safe and tit for service.
Professor Morton, Messrs. Birkinbine, Moore,
sellers and O.her gentlemen familiar with
steam engines and boilers we're present, and
made number OF suggestions in reference TO
the best mode of preventing steam boiler eX.
plosions. Some of the gentlemen thought the
appointment of an inspector would not effect
much good unless persons i'm charge of boilers
were competent engineers. 1t was also stated
that in some establishments the engineers were
not only compelled to see to the engines but
also to run errands
Mr. Moore thought the most effective wav of
preventing explosions would BE- TO have a law
requiring each boiler 10 be supplied with two or
more safety valves.
to show that explosions occur by the too sudden
opening OF the safety valves, and that n multi.
pltcation OF them would not prevent explosions
Mr.. Birkinbine believed thorough eXamina-
ton OF boilers. once year, and partial eXami-
nall0ns every six months, would do greatsgOod
though such investigations would not prevent
accidents unless competent persons are en-
plOyed.
After further suggestions the Committee re-
solved to send a circular TO various scientific
and practical gentlemen in the city. asking sug-
gestlons as to the best plan TO carry out the
intent ofthe act of Assembly. ..
