Boiler Inspection Rules Discussed


OH lease boilers now in use in Ok
lahoma may be exempted from the
rigid requirements Of the Oklahoma
state boiler inspection rules and regu-
lations. as result of u conference
held in this city Thursday morning
by oil men and Claude Connally, state
labor commissioner.
Mr.. Connally advised the oil men
that the Oklahoma rules and regula-
tions were those established by the
American Society Of Mechanical En-
gineers and that while the state did
not want to impose any hardshlps
upon the oil industry, it felt that as
the oil country boilers did not comply
with the A. s. NJ. f. rules, they
should be made to do so as soon as
possible.
1t was thea pointed out to Mr Con-
.naly that the A. s. M. u. regula-
tions were in effect in the states
OF Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana ana
Illinois. but as far as the oil FIELDS
of those states weer concerned the
enforcement of the rules had been
suspended because the rigid exactions
imposed were found unnecessary.
After much discussion, II was I'M
ally decided that George c. Pohier
president Of the Purchasing Agents
Association, of Tulsa. and Chairman
Of the meeting. name a coHnit'ee
OF five to confer with Commissioner
Connally and to work out a solution
OF the problem, taking into consider
alton the element Of costs, safety
etc. This was agreed to by all parties
concerned. Oil and Gas Journal.
