262 ENGINEERS' LICENSE LAWS 



This ordinance shall not apply to locomotive engineers or 

 to engineers on steam vessels coming under the jurisdiction 

 of the United States Board of Supervising Inspectors, nor shall 

 it apply to boilers in private residences for heating purposes, 

 unless, in the opinion of said board, such boiler is so equipped 

 and run as to endanger public safety unless operated by a 

 licensed engineer. 



Any engineer in charge of any steam engine or boiler who 

 shall abandon it while in operation without leaving a person 

 in charge of same, who shall, in the opinion of the board of 

 examining engineers, be competent to take charge of same, 

 shall be fined the sum of $10. 



Huntington, W. Va. License laws in the city of Huntington, 

 W. Va., are administered and enforced by a board of engineers 

 consisting of four members. Candidates for examination must 

 have had at least 1 yr. of experience in operating steam engines 

 and boilers. The law states that it shall be the duty of the 

 board of engineers, upon the payment of $3 by the applicant, 

 to examine persons touching their qualifications as engineers, 

 who desire to act as engineers and take charge of steam boilers, 

 engines, and pumps. If the applicant passes a satisfactory 

 examination, the board shall grant and issue to him a certi- 

 ficate of qualification. If the applicant fails to pass a satis- 

 factory examination, he shall not be allowed to apply again 

 for certificate for 2 mo. thereafter. All certificates granted 

 shall be in force for 1 yr, from the date thereof and no longer, 

 and any person holding a certificate from the board may have 

 the same renewed at its expiration for a period of 1 yr. by the 

 applicant for such renewal paying the sum of $2, provided, 

 however, that the person applying for such renewal is entitled 

 thereto, and such application for renewal is made on or before the 

 last regular meeting of the board before the expiration of the 

 applicant's certificate. Unless the above provision is complied 

 with, the board may, at its discretion, order a new examination. 



The board shall have the right to adopt rules and regulations 

 as they deem necessary and proper, not inconsistent with this 

 ordinance. The full board, by an unanimous vote, shall have 

 power and may revoke any engineer's certificate upon cau.se 

 being shown therefor.
