J 3\nREPORT OF CHIEF INSPECTOR OF MACHINERY.\nNew Westminster, B. C, January 1st, 1904.\nThe Hon. the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works, Victoria, B. C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit to you the following report of the operations of the\nsteam boilers and machinery inspection service for the year ending December 31st, 1903 :\u2014\nThe personnel of the service at the end of the year consisted of the Chief Inspector, four\nDistrict Inspectors and one Stenographer and Typewriter, located as follows :\u2014Chief Inspector,\nInspector of District \" A\" and Stenographer, located in New Westminster; Inspector of\nDistrict \" B,\" located in Victoria ; Inspector of District \" C,\" located in Nelson ; and Inspector\nof District \" D,\" located in Vancouver.\nAs the Inspector of District \" A \" is located in my office, and the stenographer attends to\nhis correspondence, I have included the same in the following list, and any work performed\nby me in testing plates and making inspections is included in the District Inspector's report.\nThe following is a summary, in part, of the work performed in this office during the year :\u2014\nLetters inward      2,084\nTelegrams inward         31\nLetters outward    4,967\nTelegrams outward         36\nForms acknowledging receipt of copies of the Act, Rules, etc       130\nInspectors' Monthly Reports received and examined         40\nNumber of drawings received, examined and reported on       174\nNumber of investigations  2\nNumber of miles travelled    3,869\nIn July last Mr. A. Sutherland was appointed an Inspector of Steam Boilers and\nMachinery, and a new district was formed, Mr. Sutherland being sent to Nelson, and Mr.\nMadigan, who had previously been in charge of the Nelson office, was transferred to a new\ndistrict with headquarters in Vancouver.\nWhen Mr. Sutherland was first appointed I had him at this office assisting in figuring\nout blue prints and specifications and the general routine work, together with sundry inspections in this district, in order to enable him to thoroughly familiarise himself with the system.\nOn September 1st he took charge of District \"C.\" During the whole of that month Mr.\nSutherland and Mr. Madigan assisted me in the examination of engineers in the district. Mr.\nMadigan and myself returned to the head office at the end of September, when Mr. Madigan\ntook up the work of transferring records from District \" A \" books to the books for the new\ndistrict. Arrangements were also made for holding examinations in Vancouver, which were\nconducted by Mr. Madigan and myself, Mr. Madigan making some inspections as opportunities offered.\nI am pleased to be able to report that the work in all the districts has again run very\nsmoothly ; in fact, there is little reason why it should not, as almost all the plants are now in\ngood order, and any work that had to be done to meet the requirements of the Act, in most\ncases had been done previously; with the exception, of course, of those plants on which first\ninspections were made this year.\nThe summary of total work done gives a complete account of the work performed by the\nwhole of the staff; while summaries under the headings of \"District Inspectors' Reports,\"\ngive a summary of the work done by each individual member of the staff.\nLast year I reported that we had made 860 complete inspections, leaving 839 boilers on\nwhich no inspection had been made. This year we have made 890 complete inspections; 364\nboilers have been inspected for the first time, 199 of these being new boilers. During the\nyear 14 boilers have been taken out of service, leaving 1,489 boilers on our report books. In\naddition to these, we have located 334 boilers that have not yet been inspected at any time,\nmaking a total of 1,823 boilers, leaving at the end of December 933 boilers on which no\ninspection was made, showing that the present staff are only able, to do ahout one-half the\nwork of the Province. J 4 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1904\nWith respect to the summary of total work done, I may say that the testing of the boiler\nplates has resulted in nearly 10 % of these being rejected, which is about the same as last\nyear's figures. The new boilers installed are almost double the amount of the previous year,\nand the number built within the Province also doubled. The repairs list shows a decided\nimprovement, being only about one-fifth of the previous year's account. The defects observed,\ntogether with those marked \" dangerous,\" show a very material reduction. The fees collected\nare slightly in excess of last year; the miles travelled a little less. The letters both inward\nand outward are very much in excess of last year, the latter being nearly double.\nComparison and examination of the summary of total defects of the two years indicate\nthat the engineers are more careful and are paying more attention to their plants, thus keeping\nthem in better shape, so far as their part of the work is concerned.\nIn conclusion, I desire to thank you for your support given to this office in its efforts to\nimprove the administration of the inspection service. I also wish to thank the individual\nmembers of the staff for the able and efficient manner in which they have carried on their\npart of the work.\nI have <fcc,\nJohn Peck,\nChief Inspector of Machinery.\nSummary of Total Work Done in 1903.\nNo. of drawings and specifications calculated for new boilers  223\nii    boiler plates inspected  87\nii    boiler plates rejected  8\nii    boilers built under inspection in British Columbia  107\nii     boilers built under inspection in Eastern Canada  32\nH    boilers built in Eastern Canada not under inspection   51\nii    new boilers inspected built in the United States ,  26\nii    new boilers inspected built in British Columbia  34\nii    new boilers inspected (total)  199\nii    boilers imported from Eastern Canada (second-hand)  4\nu    boilers imported from United States (second-hand)  12\nii    boilers unclassified  71\nn    first inspections  264\nH    inspections, external and internal  753\nii    internal inspections only  3\nii    external inspections only  27\nii    special inspections after repairs  50\nii    visits in addition to inspections  600\nii    boilers subjected to hydrostatic test  812\nii    boilers on which pressure was reduced  42\nii    boilers unsafe without extensive repairs  8\nii    boilers repaired under Inspector's directions  60\nii     boilers considered unfit for further use  2\nii    accidents to engines and boilers  20\nii    accidents resulting in personal injury (not fatal)  4\nn    investigations  5\nii    inspections completed  890\nTotal horse-power of boilers inspected  42,223\nNumber of defects observed as per summary  1,514\nNumber of defects considered dangerous  89\nInspection fees earned $7,729.39\nInspection fees collected     $7,407.61\nMiles travelled by the Inspectors  25,764\nLetters inward  3,682\nLetters outward  6,424\nTelegrams inward  79\nTelegrams outward      73\nBoilers taken out of service  14 4 Ed. 7\nReport of Chief Inspector of Machinery.\nJ 5\nSummary of Defects Observed.\nNature of Defects.

J 6 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1904\nREPORT   OF   THE    CHIEF    ENGINEER   EXAMINER.\nThe Honourable the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works,\nVictoria, B. C. :\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit to you the following report with respect to the\nexamination of candidates for engineers' certificates :\u2014\nDuring the past year I have received 471 applications for certificates, and on December\n31st, 1902, I. had 203 applications on file; 300 candidates have been examined and 379\napplications are still on file; 16 applicants have had their fees returned on account of not\nhaving had the practical qualifications required by the Act\nI have held examinations in Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster, Nelson, Greenwood,\nCranbrook, Fernie, Golden, Revelstoke, Vernon, Nanaimo and Ladysmith. In these examinations I was assisted by the Inspector of the District in which the examinations were held.\nIn addition to the above, examinations were held at Port Essington, Rivers Inlet, Inverness, Bella Coola, Naas Harbour, Malcolm Island, Cormorant Island and Shawnigan by the\nInspector of District \" B.\"\nExamination fees collected by the Chief Inspector were $1,795, and by the Inspector of\nDistrict \" B \" $153.50 ; total fees, $1,948.50.\nResults of Examinations.\nClass.\nFirst\t\nNo. Examined.\n            1      \t\nPassed.\n           1      \t\nFailed.\n            0\nSecond\t\n         13      \t\n         8     \t\n            5\nThird\n120\n92     \t\n       28\nFourth\n....      67     \t\n71    \t\n       55    \t\n        12\nTemporary\t\nService S. \" 1 \"\nService S. \" 2 \" .\n71     \t\n         0\n12     \t\n16     \t\n        12     \t\n        16     \t\n         0\n         0\nTotals. ..\n....    300    \t\n      255     \t\n       45\nI may say with respect to the examinations held in the greater number of places during the\npast year, many candidates neglected to present themselves when notified. This resulted in a\nserious loss of time and in an excessive amount of expenses, as compared with the amount of\nwork done. In Vancouver, where examinations were held during October, November and\nDecember, I notified twelve candidates for each Monday and Thursday, this being all we could\ndispose of during the week. The largest number who presented themselves for any examination was six, and in many cases only two or three.\nIn view of this fact, I think it would be well to consider the advisability of discontinuing\nthe examinations in outlying Districts, where the expenses are heavy in proportion to the\namount of work that can be done. The greater number of the engineers in the Province have\nbeen examined, and it is just as easy for engineers to present themselves at one of the District\noffices before proceeding to the outlying Districts. The course pursued by most of the\nengineers who have no certificates at present is to accept a position and commence work, without notifying the Inspectors; and when it is reported that an uncertified engineer is operating\na certain plant it is considered a hardship by the man, and also his employer, to have the man\npresent himself for examination at a District office, while, as a matter of fact, the engineer\nshould have provided himself with a certificate before entering upon his duties as such.\nThere is also another serious obstacle in the way of the proper enforcement of the Act, so\nfar as engineers are concerned, viz., the inability of this Department to keep the engineers'\nexaminations anything like up to date. It will be seen by the above that we have 379\napplicants now awaiting examination.    This being the case, we have been compelled to allow 4 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 7\nthese men to operate as if they had certificates until arrangements could be made for their\nexaminations. If, however, they fail to present themselves for examination, after having been\ngiven reasonable notice, this permission is cancelled.\nWhile this system does not meet with the requirements of the Act, and is seriously\nobjected to by men who have already been examined, I fail to see what other course could be\nadopted. It certainly would not be fair to these candidates to prevent them from acting as\nengineers for any great length of time, although there are a number of cases where the\napplicants themselves might have filled in their application forms two years ago, but\nthey put it off until the Inspectors insist on their either sending in the applications\nor leaving their positions. Some of the applicants have been relying on this method of\nprocedure to get in a sufficient length of time to qualify them for the examination, and when\ntheir applications are received it is found that possibily one year of their time has been since\nthe licence law went into effect, and I have refused to allow such time to go to their credit,\npointing out to them that instead of allowing this time they really should be fined for acting\nillegally.\nI may also state that there appears to be considerable misunderstanding with respect\nto the scope of these examinations by men who have not been examined. It seems to be the\nimpression in some cases that the examinations are of a highly technical nature, and that it\nis necessary for the candidate to go through a special course of study in order to be able\nto get a certificate. I need hardly say that if such were the case the licence law would not\naccomplish the object intended by the Legislature, viz., the protection of public life and\nproperty. All that an engineer is required to show is that he is competent to safely\noperate a steam-plant up to the capacity allowable by his certificate.\nI think, however, that we have good reason to believe that the examinations are satisfactory to the candidates who have been examined. About 17 % failed to obtain certificates,\nand we have not a single complaint from any of the men who have failed. At the conclusion of\nthe examination most of them have admitted that they had not the practical knowledge\nrequired, and would either try for a lower grade of certificate or apply for re-examination\nlater on.\nI do not expect to receive as many applications during the coming year, and hope to be\nable to get the examinations nearly up to date by the end of the year.\nI have, etc.,\nJohn Peck,\nChief Engineer Examiner. J 8 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1904\nINSPECTOR'S   REPORT,   DISTRICT   \"A.\"\nNew Westminster, B. O, December 31st., 1903.\nJohn Peck, Esq.,\nChief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B. C.\nSir,\u20141 have the honour to submit to you my annual report for the year ending\nDecember 31st, 1903.\nThe work done during the year has varied little from that of last year. I have been able\nto visit several outlying plants which had not been inspected previously. It has been my\nendeavour, as far as possible, to reach those plants known to exist which had not as yet been\nvisited ; this has almost been accomplished. However, there is no doubt that some plants are\noperating without my knowledge, the owners preferring to wait until their plants are located\nby the Inspector.\nMany of the plants in the City of Vancouver were not inspected when due, owing to the\nanticipated change in the division of the District. This did not take place as soon as was\nexpected, considerable time being absorbed in making the transfers. These inspections are\nnow, I believe, pretty well up to date.\nComparing the amount of new work done in this District with that of last year, I may\nsay that the number of new boilers inspected in this District is nearly double that of last year.\nOver one-third of this increase has been manufactured in this District under inspection, the\nbalance coming from Eastern Canada chiefly, and a few from the United States. The types\ncomprising the new boilers inspected include most of the principal forms, as follows :\u2014\nNew verticals, 75 ; old verticals, 10. Total, 85.\nNew return tubular,   41 ; old return tubular,    2. Total, 43.\nNew locomotive type,    5 ; old locomotive type, 5. Total, 10.\nNew water tubular,        1; Total,    1.\nFrom the above list it will be seen that the vertical type is still prominently in the lead.\nThey are chiefly used for logging purposes, showing that our lumber industry in this Province\nis active and progressive. Next in order come the return tubular boilers ; nearly one-quarter\nof these were manufactured in Eastern Canada, and two boilers in the United States.\nThe material for the new boilers built in Vancouver had to be tested before construction,\nand required a good portion of my time. The plants throughout the District show many\nimprovements and are much better cared for than formerly.\nBelow are given a few of the cases met with during the year :\u2014\nNo. 543 \" A,\" second-hand return tubular boiler, imported from the United States and\ninstalled in this District, had a bulge in fire-sheet caused by sediment being allowed to\naccumulate over furnace. The blow-off pipe, after coming through back wall, was reduced\nabout one-half, making it difficult to keep the boiler clean. The safety valve was fitted in such\na way as to make it dangerous, the outlet from the valve being reduced to one-fifth of the area\nof the valve itself.\nReturn tubular boiler No. 373 \" A \" came through a fire at a shingle mill and was very\nlittle the worse, beyond two small bulges on top of shell, caused by severe local heating of the\nplate, due to some burning timber lying near these parts.\nNew return tubular boiler No. 564, imported from United States for installation in this\nDistrict. The workmanship on the diagonal and longitudinal stays of this boiler was very\ninferior. Several of the through stays were loose and many of the diagonal stays a little better\nthan half welded, some of which had to be replaced, the others being allowed to go, as they\nwere in excess of what was required for the pressure allowed\nSeveral vertical boilers by American makers, imported and sold for 100 lbs. working\npressure, had to be reduced on account of the furnace being too weak.\nOn June 13th, in response to an urgent request from the Ladysmith Lumber Company,\nsituated in District  \" B,\" I left to inspect their boiler plant, which had been burned down 4 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery.\nabout the first of the month. Mr. Baxter, Inspector of that District, being absent in the\nSkeena River District, would not be back in time, as they wanted to start up soon. The\nboilers were not materially damaged, except the locomotive fire-box boiler, which leaked under\ntest, where the shell lands on the head flange at fire-box end. All that was required was\nre-caulking.\nI was afterwards called (while in the same District) to examine a return tubular boiler at\nthe Nanaimo Electric Light Works. On investigation, I found a crack about 2\" long, extending upwards, circumferentially, from a rivet hole at palm of diagonal stay, just over furnace,\nabout 30' from front head. The palms on stays at the shell end were exceedingly large and\nheavy and came just over the fire. These were re-placed by through stays. A small piece of\nthe plate was cut out and a patch ordered to be put on the inside. Report of this work was\nsent to Mr. Baxter.\nA vertical boiler was found without blow-off pipe. The try-cocks were broken off and\nplugged up. The steam gauge was 15 lbs. heavy. There was no stop-valve on the boiler, and\nit was otherwise neglected. Fortunatel}', the feed water was good and the grates high up in\nthe furnace; otherwise, the fire-box would have been burned.\nLocomotive boiler No. 505 \"A,\" which was reduced from 150 lbs. working pressure to\n115 lbs. last year, on account of insufficient staj\\s, has been re-stayed with f\" steel stays in the\nfire-box and re-tested. Everything was satisfactory and the boiler was allowed 150 lbs. working pressure.\nThe most serious case was that which happened to No. 2 return tubular boiler in a plant\nwhere there were several other boilers in the same building. The engineer packed the stem\nof globe valve on upper connection, between the boiler and the water column, and had shut\nthe valve off in doing so, forgetting to open it before the firemen changed watches. The fireman took charge of his watch and replenished the furnaces with fresh fuel, without first\nascertaining whether his water gauges were in proper working order. The steam gauge\nregistered about 80 lbs. By this time the fireman discoverd that the water in the water gauge\nshowed full. He turned on the blow-off valve, and while waiting for the water to drop to\nproper level for steaming, a noise under the boiler made it evident that something was wrong.\nBefore the fire could be thoroughly drawn out from the furnace, the heat had opened up two of\nthe girth seams and sprung rivet heads away from the joint. The tubes at back head were also\nsprung and were leaking. The repairs were rather expensive, but, fortunately, no one was\nhurt.\nThe cases just cited are about the only interesting ones that have happened in this\nDistrict during the year. Defects of a serious nature are gradually getting less at each\ninspection. They were usually met with on old boilers that had been working at a much\nhigher pressure than was allowable, and had suffered considerable abuse through the carelessness of incompetent engineers. Most of these boilers have been replaced by up-to-date new\nboilers, just as fast as opportunity presented itself to the owners, many of whom are realising\nthat it doesn't pay to have old boilers occupying the same space, burning as much fuel and\nrequiring the same help, as those modern high pressure types that would deliver many more\nhorse-power for the same expenditure of space, fuel and labour.\nThe engineers are now becoming more conversant with the rules and regulations, and\nboilers installed now are usually put up in accordance with same. Some few difficulties have\noccurred with one or two engineers in this District, but when these have been discussed and\nexplained there is no more trouble. Little misunderstandings will crop up in the administration of any law, and considering the short period since the inception of the licence law for\nengineers, I think it has gone along much more satisfactorily than was anticipated at first.\nThe transfer of boilers in Vancouver and suburbs to Inspector of \" D \" District, and a\nnumber to Inspector of District \" B,\" took up a good part of the month of November. About\n270 boilers were transferred from this District to Districts \" B \" and \" D.\" In place of these\nabove, just transferred, I have taken over the boilers contained in the Okanagan Valley, and\nfrom Kamloops to Laggan on the C. P. R., from District \"C,\" which I hope to be able to\nattend to before the end of 1904.\nThis concludes my annual report, which I trust will meet with your approval.\nAttached please find tabulated report.\nI have, etc.,\nThos.

C, January 1st, 1904.\nJohn Peck, Esq.,\nChief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B. C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour of submitting my annual report regarding the work done in my\nDistrict for the year 1903.\nDuring the past year I visited most of the different parts of my District, namely,\nVancouver Island (all parts, except some plant on the West Coast), Cormorant Island,\nMalcolm Island, Rivers Inlet, Namu, Bella Coola, Kimsquit Harbour, Skeena and Naas River\nDistrict. My reasons for not making annual tour of inspection on West Coast were that I\nwas kept too busy at other plants until late in the season, when the canneries were closed\ndown, the logging camps probably not in operation, and, lastly, that I had received reports of\nthe closing of nearly all the mine plants owing to the November snow. For these reasons I\ndid not deem it advisable to undertake the expensive trip for the small number of plants likely\nto be prepared for inspection.\nI make it a point to visit as often as possible those parts where the largest number of\nsteam plants are congregated, for at those places my services are more often required to attend\nto repairs and alterations, the installing of new boilers and the settling of disputes among the\nengineers. While I am in Victoria I have the testing of boiler plates, the supervision of new\nboilers under construction, attending to the numerous visitors at my office, whose inquiries\nhave to be answered, and, besides, I have a considerable amount of clerical work to perform,\nwriting letters, writing out detailed reports on each boiler for the head office, and also to the\nowner of the steam plant.    This frequently entailed late work and long hours.\nI am pleased to report a continued improvement, both in regard to the appearance of the\nvarious engine-rooms and also in the efficiency of the plants. The engineers seem to take a\nkeener interest in the welfare of the machinery under their charge, and in several cases they\nhave effected economy in the running expenses. As an example of this I may cite plant No.\n234; this plant had too large a grate surface for the duty required of the boiler. I induced the\nengineer to reduce the width of the bar for the following reason. The plant burned cordwood,\nand if the fire place was full of wood too much steam would be generated, so a fewer number\nof pieces were put in, thus leaving a bare patch where the cold air was, of course, pouring out\nand abstracting a large amount of the heat of combustion. The engineer reduced width of\nbars about 12 inches, resulting in keeping up steam more regularly and saving half a cord of\nwood per day. The advantage to both owner and man are obvious, as the former saved one\ndollar per day and the latter had half a cord less wood to handle in his day's work.\nThe greater attention paid to the fittings and piping, etc., in keeping them tight, must\nalso save a large amount in the aggregate. In past years I have seen some plants with steam\nblowing from a dozen different places, each almost enough to drive an engine, yet the engineer\ndid not seem to realise that he had to pump cold water into the boiler to be converted into the\nsteam he was so generously blowing away and running up a large fuel bill for his employer.\nI try at all times to impress the men with the importance of paying close attention to the\ndetails, as that is how economy and efficiency is largely effected. This is very necessary in\nthese days of keen competition in manufactures. What I mean is this : No sensible man\nwould have a large split in a steam pipe continue blowing without repairing same, but he\nmight complacently watch a few joints blow or a leaky safety valve continue to pass steam,\nfor the sake of not grinding it up a bit. More frequently it is the blow-down cock which, for\nwant of care, is allowed to dribble away several dollars' worth of fuel per day. Attention to\nthe foregoing details are becoming more important now-a-days, as higher pressures are prevailing\nin most new boilers, the newer plants ranging from 125 lbs. to 160 lbs. per square inch. I have\nnoticed, however, a general desire amongst the engineers to improve their knowledge by the\npurchase of engineering books and subscribing to the numerous and helpful correspondence\nschools, thus enlarging their usefulness and training themselves to be more alert and observant\nin the performance of their duties.    When first I went around on my duties I impressed the 4 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 13\nfact on the engineers that \"knowledge is power.\" I received an indifferent or casual assent\nto that statement, but now (especially after the examinations) they give an emphatic endorsement to the above.\nAmongst the owners, too, I think they notice an improvement in their plants, and I\nreceive no dissent to the various alterations I may order or recommend. I may mention,\nhowever, one case in which the engineers were told to pay no attention to my orders, and I\nwas further informed they were not at all responsible for their plants. I had to send a copy\nof the \" Steam Boiler Act\" to the Superintendent, with the sections pertaining to the\nengineer's position carefully marked, before I could get this official to realise the absurdity of\nhis orders and directions given his men, and by letter I simply asked him if he was agreeable\nto come into or below the boilers with me while I asked questions or pointed out defects in\nparts wanting attention. The gentleman quickly relinquished that honour in favour of his\nengineers ; it was too dirty.\nI append a summary of the new boilers installed in this district; they were mostly return\ntubular, the others being vertical locomotive type, and one or two water tube. In the construction of the boilers I notice that a very good class of steel is being imported for the shell\nplates, as they sta.nd the severe tests with but few plates being rejected. The builders of the\nboilers pay great attention to the \" laying out\" of the various parts of the shell plates, so that\nthey are assembled with greater accuracy, and, therefore, require no use of the \" drift-pin,\"\nand the strains on plate incidental to its use are eliminated. The fact that an Inspector may\ndrop in at any time and reject a plate which is faulty in workmanship (on which considerable\nwork is done, and, therefore, expense), causes the boiler-makers to exercise greater care with\ntheir undertaking, thus giving the steam user a superior boiler.\nI am pleased to report no explosions or fatal accidents in the district during the last\nyear.    I had four accidents to persons reported to me, as follows :\u2014\nPlant No. 15.\u2014The engineer, in oiling some shafting, got his left forearm caught between\ntwo bevel-gear wheels and had the muscles torn out, the arm was saved by the fact that he\nwas pulled off the ladder he was standing on, and being suspended his weight pulled him free,\nwith the loss of the flesh on the forearm.\nThe second case was an engineer at plant No. 388, who was trying to open a defective\nblow-down cock. The plug being ground repeatedly, projected beyond the shell of cock (at\nthe bottom), and as the washer and nut below could rise nearly J\", resulted in the plug\njumping up at that distance, permitting the water to escape around the plug, and in consequence scalding the hands and wrists of the engineer.\nThe third case was plant No. 230. The foreman of the mill permitted an assistant to try\nand put on a newly-laced governor belt, which was somewhat tight, by reaching through the\narm of the fly-wheel. As the man had some difficulty in putting it on the shaft pulley, he\ncame round and moved round the fly-wheel, to aid him getting it on. The engine happened to\nbe on the \" dead centre,\" and as the steam was in the valve chest, the result was the engine\n\" ran away,\" carrying the man round and round in the wheel with considerable velocity, until\nhe was thrown out by centrifugal force. The assistant received severe wounds from being\nprojected through an inch board partition, and his scalp was badly torn.\nThe last accident reported to me was at plant No. 429. This is a portable saw-mill, and\nthe engineer, in working round the saw while it was revolving, got his finger caught and badly\ncut, thereby losing his fore-finger.\nAccidents to machinery are given in summary appended, but I would like to give just a\ncouple of cases.\nPlant 227.\u2014This boiler had a mud-drum at rear bottom of boiler. When I applied the\nhydrostatic test this drum gave way with a loud report, at a pressure of 90 to 95 ths. On\nexamination it was found to be cracked for seven inches round the base of the flanging. I\nordered the drum cut off from boiler, and a plate riveted on the aperture (some 18\" in diam.).\nWhen mud-drum was removed I gave it a blow with my test hammer, when a large piece of\nflange broke off like a piece of glass. The fractured portion showed only the thirty-second of\nan inch of fresh metal, proving that it was in a highly dangerous condition and fully crystallized. When one knows that the working pressure of boiler was 110 lbs. one can imagine the\nresults if drum had given way when the expansive force of steam had been behind it, instead\nof the inexpansive force of water, the pressure of which was instantly reduced by the above\nfracture opening. J 14 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1904\nThe second one I would like to mention was at plant No. 334. The engine at this plant\nwas running in good order, when by the carelessness of a Chinaman, who was handling some\nlumber near the engine, the governor was given a knock with the end of a plank, making it\nnon-effective. Result was the engine \" ran away,\" and such speed was acquired that the\nwheel flew to pieces. One piece struck a planer at which a man was working and smashed\nthe gearing, almost at the man's side; another piece cut deeply into a 12\" by 6\" joist, and\nother pieces flew about the mill amongst the men, fortunately injuring nobody.\nI trust the foregoing outline of the work done, and detail of one or two of the accidents,\nwill suffice to give you an idea of last year's work. I will conclude by mentioning the places\nat which I have held examinations. Examinations were held at Victoria, Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Rivers Inlet, Port Essington,   Inverness,  Naas Hprbour,  Malcolm Island, Cormorant\nIsland, Bella Coola and Shawnigan.\nI have, etc.,\nS.

Baxter,\nInspector of Steam Boilers, District\n27\nb: J 16 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1904\nINSPECTOR'S   REPORT,    DISTRICT    \"C.\"\nVancouver, B. O, January 1st, 1904.\nJohn Peck, Esq.,\nChief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B. C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit the following report for the year 1903 (see tabulated\nreport):\u2014\nAs I have been transferred from District \" C \" to District \" D,\" and have not access to\nfield-books and individual reports of the plants in District \" C,\" I find it almost impossible to\nmake a detailed report of the work of the year. The very small number of inspections is\naccounted for by reason of changing office and assisting you in examining the candidates for\nengineers' certificates. I was occupied part of July and August in getting the records in the\noffice of District \" C \" in such shape that my successor would have no difficulty in taking up\nthe work intelligently. During September, October, November and part of December was\nengaged in engineers' examination, which were held in the following places :\u2014Nelson, Greenwood, Cranbrook, Fernie, Golden, Revelstoke, Vernon, New Westminster and Vancouver.\nThe results of these examinations are on file in your office. During the year the following\naccidents have been reported :\u2014\nAt Fort Steele Brewery, Fernie, the frame of a horizontal engine broke just behind\nmain bearings. This occurred as they were shutting down after the steam had been closed\noff, according to the testimony of engineer and brewer.\nThe engine at the Sparwood saw-mill was reported in bad shape. I found the crank pin\nloose and cylinder cracked.    This had been the condition for some time.\nThe engine in the Fernie Lumber Company's saw-mill was damaged by a nut from the\nsaw-dust carrier overhead, which was undergoing repairs, falling and lodging between disc and\n.rod, breaking the disc into four pieces, and knocking out the cylinder head.\nAt Nakusp the valve gear and valve of the Yale-Columbia Lumber Company's Wheelock\nengine was broken on three occasions within a very short time of each other. This occurred\nimmediately after the engine had been to the Coast for repairs, and was evidently caused by\nengineer not understanding the operation of the valves.\nAt Salmo the Kootenay Shingle Company's engine was wrecked by failure of one of the\nconnecting rod-bolts, due to faulty material, as the bolts were quite large enough had the\nmaterial been sound.\nOf the boilers that were damaged by neglect, the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company's fan\nboiler, at Michel, was the most glaring. This was a new locomotive type boiler, imported\nfrom Eastern Canada last year, and when inspected in February, after seven months' use, the\nfire-box was found bulged between the stays until the plate had cracked. Previous to this\nit had been damaged on the other side, and the plate had been cut out and patched. This\nwas caused by the scale and sediment having been allowed to accumulate until it reached\nsome distance above the fire line.\nAnother of the new boilers imported from Eastern Canada by the same company, and\nlocated at the Morrissey Mines, was found with outside plate of fire-box cracked, indicating\nthat poor material had been used in construction. If the same kind of material had been\nused in the case of the Michel boiler, it is probable that a more serious accident than a burned\nplate would have to be recorded.\nThere have been objections raised by some of the steam users to the Inspector's ordering\napparently insignificant changes to the fittings on boilers. The value of one of these changes\nwas brought to my notice very forcibly last year, and had my instructions been carried out\nwould have resulted in a saving of several hundred dollars to the company interested. This\noccurred on the boiler in a saw-mill at Fernie. When making the inspection a slight bulge,\nabout 4 inches in diameter, was noticed on shell near back head, and as the bk w-off was in\nthe back head, several inches from the bottom of the boiler, this is not surprising. The\nowners were notified that the blow-off would have to be changed to bottom of shell and\ninstructed to place the re-inforcing flange over the bulge, then tap hole for blow-off through\nboth plates, so that all the scale and mud could have been removed. Owing to pressure of\nbusiness, in this case the boiler could not be cooled down long enough to make the change for 4 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. J 17\nsome time, and when the company finally decided to make the repairs it was found that the\nbulge had increased to about 18 inches in diameter, and correspondingly deep, necessitating\nsending to the Coast for a patch large enough for plate removed, and delaying the mill for\nseveral weeks.\nThe Inspection Act, as applying to engineers, has not been strictly enforced, and for this\nreason complaints are made by both engineers and employers who are complying with the\nAct, who claim that they are placed at a disadvantage in consequence of their good faith.\nAnother objection the engineers make to the Act is that it compels them to report to the\nInspector any defect that they may notice in their plant that would affect the safety of same,\nbut it does not afford them any protection against unprincipled employers, who will take the\nearliest opportunity of putting some one else in charge who will not be so anxious to see the\nAct carried out properly, and also would be willing to take an extra risk rather than sacrifice\ntheir situation.\nWhere certified engineers are employed, however, there is a marked improvement in the\ncondition of plants. After the instructions received at the examination have had time to be\ndigested they begin to experiment, almost invariably commencing with the reduction of scale\nformation, and are not slow in pointing out to all and sundry the success attained ; and as\nthis materially affects the employer, he naturally appreciates the efforts made to improve the\nplant, and places more confidence in his engineer in consequence. This does not apply in all\ncases, however; the first cost of a valve or some other small fitting will, in some instances,\noutweigh the benefits to be derived from placing these where necessary, until eventually a\nheavy repair bill is the result. This confidence between engineer and employer will have to\nbe established by the engineer with patience, as the employer in most cases has had experience\nwith men who may never have had any experience with engines, but who on account of being-\nout of employment are willing to trust to luck to get along in any line, and in consequence\nhave proved an expensive luxury to the owner of the plant and forced him to depend on his\nown small knowledge of the operation of steam in preference to trusting to unknown so-called\n\" engineers.\"\nWith regard to the examinations held in District \" D,\" I would say they have been very\nunsatisfactory in respect to numbers. Where seven days' notice has been given applicants,\nsix has been the largest number that appeared, out of twelve notified. In some cases\ncandidates admitted that they did not expect the Act to be enforced, and simply put in their\napplication to hold the situation, in case such was a fact, and when called on to come up for\nexamination, realising their incompetence, at once sent in their resignations to their employers,\nrather than face certain failure. A great number of them have not gone so far as this, even\nin complying with the Act, not having even made application to be examined.\nI would recommend that an example be made of some of these, as well as the owners who\npersist in employing any one who says he is an engineer, without ascertaining whether he has\na certificate or not.\nAll of the above is respectfully submitted.\nI have, etc.,\nGeorge O.

Six new boilers have been imported from Eastern Canada, and one (second-hand) from\nthe United States.\nDuring the last four months many of the saw-mills in this District have closed down for\nthe winter, the owners making use of the time to instal new machinery of the latest type.\nThe following accidents to engines and boilers were reported :\u2014\nThe crank-pin of a 14\" x 18\" horizontal engine at the Porto Rico Lumber Company's mill\nwas discovered to be cracked. The engine is of the centre crank type, and as this is the second\nshaft which was broken, the company have decided to instal another engine.\nA new engine of the horizontal duplex type, with cranks at right angles, installed by the\nCrow's Nest Lumber Company, had both disc and connecting rod broken. The crank-pin\nwas left in its place, as the break did not take place near it. The cause of the accident was\nsaid to be that the key, coming out of the disc, came in contact with the connecting rod,\nbreaking it and the disc at the same time. As all the fractures must have happened at the\nsame instant, it could not be determined to what the accident was due.\nThe blow-off pipe on the boiler at the Cranbrook Sash and Door Factory burst and destroyed part of the boiler setting. The pipe was replaced by another, and, in a short time, it\nburst. The owners were told to have the pipe protected, which they failed to do, with\nthe result that the setting of the boiler was partly destroyed at two different times, and both\ntime and money lost.    Fortunately, no one was scalded.\nOne noticeable feature of the saw-mills is the number of old boilers that are lying outside.\nThese have been replaced by new boilers, and some of the owners intended converting their\nold ones into feed water heaters, thereby getting more work out of their boilers, as well as\ngetting rid of part of the sediment in the water before it enters the boilers.\nWhen visiting a plant I always explain anything the engineer or owner may ask, besides\ngiving the engineer a few verbal questions which he may think out at his leisure. By asking\nother questions on the same subject, when the engineer is up for his certificate, it can be seen\nwhether he understands the principles or had only a superficial knowledge of the subject.\nI have, etc.,\nAndrew Sutherland,\nInspector of District \" C.\"\nSummary of total work done in District \" C\" for the four  months ending\nDecember 3 1st, 1903.\nNo. of boilers built under inspection in Eastern Canada\t\nboilers built in Eastern Canada not under inspection     ....\nnew boilers inspected built in United States\t\nnew boilers inspected (total)\t\nboilers unclassified\t\nfirst inspections\t\ninspections, external and internal  \t\nexternal inspections only\t\nboilers subjected to hydrostatic test\t\n1\n3\n2\n6\n63\n22\n71\n20\n81 J 20\nReport of Chief Inspector of Machinery\n1904\nSummary of Work done in District \" C\" for Four Months.\u2014Concluded.\nNo. of boilers on which pressure was reduced.\n11      inspections completed\t\nTotal horse-power of boilers inspected\t\nNumber of defects observed as per summary  .\nNumber of defects considered dangerous\t\nInspection fees earned\t\nInspection fees collected\t\nMiles travelled by the Inspector\t\nLetters inward\t\nLetters outward\t\nTelegrams inward\t\nTelegrams outward\t\nBoilers taken out of service  \t\n2\n71\n4,233\n124\n4\nL2.71\n71\n2,229\n157\n178\n3\n1\n2\nSummary of Defects Observed.\nNature of defects.
