ENGINEERS' LICENSE LAWS 283 



When boilers are used and engines run night and day, two 

 licensed engineers must be employed and must stand watch 

 alternately. 



All engineers, engines, and boilers of the fire department of 

 St. Joseph and all steam rollers, steam automobiles, and portable 

 boilers used on the streets of the city are subject to the provi- 

 sions of this ordinance, except that there shall be no fee charged 

 for the inspection of boilers of fire engines; but all locomotive 

 boilers used on railroads and steam boilers supplied with water 

 automatically, when used for heating dwellings and not carrying 

 a pressure of over 10 Ib. per sq. in., are exempt from the provi- 

 sions of this ordinance. 



Every applicant for license who fails to pass the examination 

 is required to wait 2 wk. before again making application for 

 license. If applicants fail to pass after the third trial, they may 

 not make application again for 6 mo. 



Engineers must notify the boiler inspector upon accepting 

 employment as an engineer; and, within 3 da. after, he must 

 give the name of his employer and the location of the boiler or 

 boilers under his care. Renewals for license shall be made not 

 later than the first regular meeting of the board next following 

 the expiration of the license. Unless this provision is complied 

 with, it shall be necessary for the applicant to be reexamined, 

 to take out a new license, and to pay the regular fee before 

 referred to. 



St. Louis, Mo. In the city of St. Louis the engineers' license 

 laws are administered and enforced by a board of engineers 

 consisting of the city inspector of boilers and elevators and two 

 other members, all of whom are appointed by the mayor, with 

 the consent of the council. This board convenes for business 

 once in each week to examine applicants for engineers' license. 



According to the laws, the board shall giant certificates of 

 license for 1 yr. from the date thereof to all applicants who pass 

 the required examination and satisfy the board as to their 

 fitness. Each applicant for license shall at the time of filing 

 his application, pay to the inspector of boilers and elevators 

 a fee of $2, for each examination, but no charge is made for 

 renewals. Licenses may be revoked by the board, upon proof 

 of incompetency or neglect on the part of the licensee.
