ENGINEERS' LICENSE LAWS 285- 



Scranton, Pa. See Pennsylvania state laws, on page 250. 



Sioux City, la. A board of examining engineers consisting 

 of three persons, all of whom are appointed by the mayor, 

 with the consent of the city council, administers and enforces 

 the license laws in Sioux City, la. 



It is the duty of the board of examining engineers to grant 

 licenses of the first, second, and third grade to persons examined 

 and found qualified. A first-class license qualifies the holder 

 to take charge of boilers of 125 H. P. or over; a second-class 

 license, to take charge of boilers of 25 H. P. or over, up to 125 

 H. P.: and a third-class license, to take charge of all boilers 

 of less than 25 H. P., 12 sq. ft. of heating surface to constitute 

 1 H. P. The certificates so granted shall run for 1 yr., at which 

 time they shall be renewed. The board of examiners has the 

 power to revoke licenses upon proof of incompetency or negli- 

 gence on the part of licensees. 



Steam boilers or engines of a capacity of not over 75 sq. ft. 

 of heating surface with a pressure of not over 25 Ib. per 

 sq. in., and all boilers not exceeding 75 sq. ft. of heating 

 surface under a pressure of 15 Ib. per sq. in. used for heating 

 only, require a person with a permit only, instead of an engi- 

 neer holding a license. Such person must be recommended 

 by two citizens of Sioux City, one of whom shall be an engi- 

 neer holding a license from the board of engineers. Permits 

 are granted by the board to the proper persons. 



When any boiler or engine requiring the services of an 

 engineer holding a first-class license is run day and night, the 

 owner or user may employ an engineer holding a second-class 

 license, not exceeding 12 hr. at a time, under the instructions 

 of an engineer in charge, holding a first-class license. 



Applications for license must be made on blanks furnished 

 by the board of examining engineers. Licensed engineers 

 must notify the board when they accept or leave employment, 

 and within 10 da. after, the name of employer and the location 

 of the boilers must be given. Applications for renewals of 

 license or permits shall be made not later than the third week 

 preceding their expiration. 



In case of the failure of any applicant for a license to pass- 

 the examination, he may within 10 da. after receiving notice
