Second reading of bill to provide
for the inspection of steam boilers.
Considered with majority report of
select committee for, and minority
report against its passage.
Rep. Il. w. Wilcox moved that
the majority report be adopted;
Rep. Waipuilan, that the minority
report be adopted.
Rep. Lucas said the bill was no
new measure. 1t spoke for itself.
Noble Widemann was one of the
few unfortunates who had suffered
in this country from boiler explo-
sions. The lives of engineers de-
pended on the safety of their boilers,
and this bin would not prevent acct
dents. 1t was to provide fat place
without any work for somebody, and
would he an annoyance to owners of
boilers.
Rep. Nawahi said the hon. Noble
had nothing to say against helping
somebody the other day when there
was twenty years franchise before
the House. Now as the owner of
plantation boiler be objected to
measure for the prevention of acct
| dents.
Noble Hind was one of the minor
ity of the committee. The condi-
tions in the country were more
favorable to boilers than they were
in other counties. The plantation
boilers were very strong for the
pressure to which they were SUBJ
| jected. The engineers were high
priced men who knew more about
the boilers than the inspector likely
would. He could not find who was
to appoint the Inspector.
Rep. Lucas-The bill says who.
Noble Hind-The Minister of the
Interior. What does he know about
boilers? (Laughter.)
Noble Baldwin signed the majority
report because there was a liability
to accidents. He knew there would
be no need of an inspection in the,
mills of Noble Hind, Noble Mars
den and Widemann. In his OWE
case he would not trust to the Off
cial inspection, but have his boilers
inspected thoroughly by his own
engineer before the season. He
would want the inspector to be
thoroughly competent man.
| Noble Widemann held that in
spection could only ascertain the.
resistance of the boiler 1t would
not prevent accidents from the most
fruitful cause-that of carelessness
in allowing the water to run low and
the tubes get redhot.
Rep. Lucas said the chief objee-
ton to the bill was the paltry SIS
the planter had to pay. When you
touched the planters pocket you
made him squeal He did not sup
pose the Minister would appoint
Noble Widemann as inspector, or
Noble Phillips.
Noble Phillips You bet he
wouldn't. (Laughter.)
The ayes and noes were called on

the bill, which was carried on the
following vote:

Brown; Mobiles Widemann, Kau-
hane. }. M. Horner, Hind, w. Y.
