248 ENGINEERS' LICENSE LAWS 



4. No license shall be granted to any person to act as special 

 engineer unless he is found on examination to be sufficiently 

 acquainted with the duties of an engineer to warrant the belief 

 that he can be safely entrusted with steam boilers and steam 

 machinery not to exceed 30 H. P. 



The fee for the examination of an applicant for an engineer's 

 license shall be $1; for the biennial renewal of certificates of 

 license, the fee shall be $1, which fee shall accompany the appli- 

 cation. Applicants must subscribe oath as to their experience 

 period. 



Montana. In Montana, the license laws are administered 

 by an inspector of boilers, who is appointed by the governor 

 of the state. The inspector has an assistant, and they must, 

 as often as is convenient, publish in some suitable newspaper 

 a notice stating on what days they will be in certain specified 

 localities. This notice must also state that they will, at the 

 time and place specified in such notice, receive applications and 

 make examination for the purpose of granting engineers' cer- 

 tificates and examine boilers subject to inspection. 



In Montana, engineers entrusted with the care and manage- 

 ment of steam machinery are divided into three classes, namely, 

 first-class engineers, second-class engineers, and third-class 

 engineers. A candidate for a first-class license must have had 

 .at least 3 yr. of actual experience in the operation of steam 

 boilers and steam machinery, or his knowledge and experience 

 must be such as to justify the belief that he is competent to 

 take charge of all classes of steam boilers and steam machinery. 

 A candidate for a second-class license must have had at least 

 2 yr. of experience in the operation of steam boilers and sceam 

 machinery, and must on examination be found competent to 

 take charge of all classes of steam boilers and steam machinery 

 not exceeding 100 H. P. A candidate for a third-class license 

 must have served at least 1 yr. as fireman under a competent 

 engineer, and must be, on examination, found competent to 

 be entrusted with the duties pertaining to the operation of 

 steam boilers and steam machinery not exceeding 20 H. P. 



All firemen who have charge of steam boilers, as to the regu- 

 lation of feed water and fuel, where the boilers are so situated 

 as not at all times to be under the eye of the engineer in charge.
