ENGINEERS' LICENSE LAWS 253 



The board of examiners shall have the authority to issue 

 licenses to assistant engineers, classifying them as above pro- 

 vided, and issue to the same only such license as may cover 

 the character of the engine, which in their judgment such 

 assistant engineer is competent to have charge of, and then 

 only when the chief engineer in charge of the same engine has 

 a full license covering the class to which it belongs. 



Whenever any engineer or assistant engineer has received 

 a license of one class, and desires to be licensed in a higher 

 class, or, in the case of an assistant engineer, to be licensed as 

 chief engineer, he may make application to the board of exam- 

 iners for that purpose. After a reexamination the engineer 

 or the assistant engineer may be granted such higher license 

 if, in the opinion of said board of examiners, he is competent 

 to take charge of such engine as may be covered thereby. 



When any person shall, after written notification from the 

 board of examiners, continue to run or operate any stationary 

 engine or boiler in Fulton County without a license from 

 them covering the class of engine that he has in charge, or when- 

 ever any person shall knowingly employ or cause to be employed 

 any person to run or operate a stationary engine or boiler in 

 Fulton County who has not been licensed by the board of 

 examiners, such person shall be prosecuted by the board of 

 examiners under the criminal laws of this state. 



Each license issued by the board is issued and accepted 

 subject to the rules of examiners. 



The board of examiners shall receive a fee from each person 

 examined for a license as either engineer or assistant engineer 

 of $5 in each case, which fee shall be required to be paid prior 

 to the examination of the applicant and whether the license 

 is issued to him or not.
