The many friends of the Ranney
Brothers and other officials of the
Ranney Refrigerator Co. Of Green
Vile in this city deeply sympathize
with them in the appalling disaster
and damage they suffered last Satur-
day by the fearful. explosion which
wrecked portion of their fine plant
and caused the terrible and instant
death of two of their trusted employ
ees. Evidently the forces of destruc-
tion came without a moments warn
ing as engineer Price when discovered
in the awful wreckage was found to
have been sitting in the accustomed
seat at his post of duty. When
great calamtiies of this nature occur
outside of our immediate vicinity we
are apt to give the matter only
passing thought but coming nearer
home and touching with heavy hand
the lives and property of relatives,
friends and acquaintance it brings to
our minds very forcibly the scripture
words, while in the midst of life we
are in DEATH. Although no blame for
the accident is in any manner laid a
gainst the company it should serve as
warning to uperintendents, engin-
GERS and firemen to be extremely
careful in the inspection and work of
handling steam boilers Governor
Bliss recommendations on this subject
in his message to the Legislature is
timely and right to the point He sa, 8
THE commissioner of labor recon-
mends legislation providing for steam
boiler inspection, and for the exami-
nation and licensing of stationary
engineers. The argument in favor OF
this is ba sed on the numerous boiler
explosions and the serious loss of life
and destruction of property resulting
therefrom. Such measure need not
necessarily be an additional burden
upon the state, 1t being entirely prop
er to charge small fee for each boil
er inspection and for the examination
and registration of engineers.
