C:\nPrinted by Richard Wolfenden, I.S.O., V.D., Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty.\n1908.  REPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF MACHINERY.\nNew Westminster, B. C, January 1st,  1908.\nThe Hon. Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works, . .\nVictoria,, B. C.:\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit to you the Sixth Annual Report of the operation of\nthe steam boiler and machinery inspection service for the year ending December 31st, 1907.\nBefore proceeding with the detail matters of my report, I consider it fitting that I should\nrefer to the loss we have sustained by the death of one of the members of our staff, Mr. Thomas\nH. Goldie, a man of sterling worth, a citizen who was foremost in advancing the interests of\nthe city in which he lived and an official in whom the public, as well as the Inspection Department, placed implicit confidence.\nMr. Goldie was born at Old Cumnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1867, received his education\nat the Public School, and was later apprenticed to a well-known engineering firm in the same\ntown. After completing his apprenticeship, he was employed for some time as erecting engineer,\nand during this time he took a prominent part in the installation of several large plants in\ndifferent parts of the United Kingdom, but his ambition to travel, for the purpose of gaining\na wider experience, led him to Canada, where he at once secured remunerative employment\nwith a large engineering firm in Ontario. After thoroughly familiarising himself with Canadian\nmethods, he formed an opinion that the West offered special advantages and came on to British\nColumbia, where he was employed by different engineering firms in a variety of capacities,\nfrom machinist to works superintendent, and also as chief engineer in some of the largest steam\nplants in the Province.\nIn June, 1901, he entered the competitive examinations for Inspectors of Steam Boilers\nand Machinery. His work during the week of examination was most satisfactory and he was\nat once appointed Inspector of District A. During my association with him in this work I\nfound him a most able officer; his close and careful study of conditions in his district, and his\nkeen appreciation of the different personalities with which he had to deal in the discharge of\nhis duties, made it possible for him to bring about an improved condition of affairs, without\nopposition from parties with whom he came in contact.\nAs soon as the serious nature of Mr. Goldie's illness was realised, Mr. F. K. Dunlop was\nappointed Acting Inspector, to assist in carrying on the work in the meantime, and after Mr.\nGoldie's death the services of Mr. Dunlop were retained, until examinations were held and a\npermanent appointment made.\nAt the last session of the Legislature provisions were made for two additional Inspectors,\nand competitive examinations were held at Victoria in June. The following gentlemen\nreceived the highest number of marks and were appointed to the different positions :\u2014Mr.\nJohn Downie to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Goldie, and Mr. John D. Kay and\nMr. George C. McGown for the two new positions.\nThe personnel of the service at present consists of the Chief Inspector, six District\nInspectors and one clerk, located as follows :\u2014Chief Inspector, two Inspectors for District A\nand clerk in New Westminster; two Inspectors for District B in Victoria; Inspector for\nDistrict C at Nelson, and Inspector for District D in Vancouver.\nSince the appointment of the new men, Mr. Downie has been employed a greater part of\nthe time on calculations for new designs, the arrangements respecting these being such that the\nmanufacturers send blue prints and specifications showing all details of construction, together\nwith a fee of $5. These prints and specifications are carefully gone over and calculations\nmade on all parts. If any part figures below the working pressure required, the manufacturer\nis so informed, and after the design has been made to comply with the requirements of the Act\nit is registered. The affidavits for all future boilers built to this design have the design number\nplaced on them, and when received at this office are compared with the original specifications\nand design register sheet, and a copy of the latter, together with the specification sheet, is sent to\nthe Inspector of the district to which the boiler is being shipped (if he has not already received K 4 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1908\nthese documents for similar boilers). The sheets contain all the information he requires at the\nfirst inspection, and the boiler can be passed without the delays that used to occur while we\nwere waiting for blue prints, etc., from the manufacturers. This arrangement is very much\nappreciated by all parties concerned, besides giving us an absolute check on everything.\nThe following is a summary, in part, of the work performed in this office during the year,\nin connection with the construction and inspection of steam boilers and machinery:\u2014\nLetters inward    3,219\nTelegrams inward         62\nLetters outward    3,077\nTelegrams outward         83\nForms acknowledging receipt of copies of Act, etc       223\nInspectors' monthly reports examined and checked         60\nMachinery inspection reports examined, checked and filed    1,382\nBoiler designs examined, calculated and reported on       103\nFees for above   $ 530\nNumber of miles travelled by Chief Inspector    2,480\nI am again able to report that there have been no boiler explosions during the year on\nsteam plants subject to inspection. There was, however, an explosion of a cast-iron boiler under\ntwo-horse power in Vancouver on November 5th. This boiler was used at Messrs. J. Y.\nGriffin's for heating the building, and also for heating water. The force of the explosion\nblew out the front windows and wrecked part of the building. I visited the building\nshortly after the explosion and measured up the heating surface, for the purpose of calculating\nthe nominal horse-power, which I found to be 1 J, and, therefore, not within the jurisdiction of\nthe Inspection Act. This being the case, the company decided that they would not allow me\nto fully investigate the cause, but while there I noticed that a stop valve had been placed\nbetween the boiler and the safety valve. This valve had been closed on the previous day and\nhad evidently not been opened when steam was being raised. The company have since put in\na new boiler above two-horse power and it has been inspected.\nThere have been four accidents to persons working around steam plants, which are reported\nfully in the District Inspectors' reports.\nThe testing of plates for new boilers shows that the sales houses have been more careful\nabout their deliveries to British Columbia than they were last year, but as there were twenty\nplates condemned, it shows the importance of carefully watching the kind of material that is\nto be used.\nThe number of new boilers inspected during the year exceeds that of 1906 by more than\none-third, the increased number built in British Columbia being also about one-third.\nThe total number of boilers now on our books is 2,486 ; the number inspected last year\nwas 1,382, leaving 1,104 boilers on which no inspection was made.\nThe defects observed during inspections were about the same as last year, when the\nincreased number of inspections is taken into consideration, but the defects that can be remedied\nby the engineers, and those caused by their negligence, should be reduced. I have reference\nto such cases as are shown under the following headings particularly :\u2014Saftey valves inoperative and overloaded, pressure gauges inoperative and defective, cases of sediment on fire sheets,\nincrustations, defective feed water arrangements, defective water gauges and serious leakage of\nfittings. I am taking up these matters with the Inspectors, and hope that they will be able to\nuse their influence with the engineers in such a way as to reduce the defects.\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 \" show\nthe work done in each of the districts. I may say, however, that District A has not been as\ncompletely covered as usual on account of the changes during the year.\nIn conclusion, I desire to thank you for the prompt attention given to all matters in connection with this branch of the service, and for your support given to this office in its effort to\nimprove the administration of the Act, and particularly for the additional assistance, of which\nwe were so very much in need.\nI also wish to thank each member of the staff for the able and efficient manner in which\nthey have carried on their part of the work.\nI have, etc.,\nJohn Peck,\nChief Inspector. 8 Ed. 7\nReport of Chief Inspector of Machinery.\nK 5\nSummary of Total Work done by District Inspectors in 1907.\nNumber of drawings and specifications calculated for new boilers  177\nii          boiler plates inspected  312\nii          boiler plates rejected  20\nii          boilers built under inspection in British Columbia  110\nii          boilers built under inspection in Eastern Canada  76\nii          boilers built in Eastern Canada not under inspection  33\nii          new boilers inspected built in the United States  96\nii          new boilers inspected built in England  2\nii          new boilers inspected built in British Columbia  11\nii          new boilers inspected (total)  323\nii          boilers imported from Eastern Canada (second-hand)  7\nii          boilers imported from United States (second-hand)  11\nii          boilers unclassified  28\nii          first inspections  377\nii          inspections, external and internal  1,300\nii         internal inspections only  24\nii          external inspections only  71\nii          special inspections after repairs  89\nii          visits in addition to inspections ,  792\nii          boilers subjected to hydrostatic test  1,224\nii          boilers on which pressure was reduced.  44\nn          boilers unsafe without extensive repairs  24\nii          boilers repaired under Inspector's directions ,  114\nii          boilers considered unfit for further use ,  10\nii          accidents to engines and boilers  23\nii          accidents resulting in personal injury (not fatal)  4\nn          investigations ,  4\nii          inspections completed  1,382\nTotal horse-power of boilers inspected  68,539\nNumber of defects observed as per summary  1,740\nN umber of defects considered dangerous ,  105\nInspection fees earned $ 11,785. 26\nInspection fees collected , $ 11,334.87\nMiles travelled by the Inspectors  27,685\nLetters inward  2,453\nLetters outward  2,613\nTelegrams inward  45\nTelegrams outward     45\nBoilers takon out of service  22\nSummary op Defects Observed.\nNature of Defects.

C, January 1st, 1908.\nJohn Peck, Esq.,\nChief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour herewith to submit report of work done by me in this district\nfrom July 8th, the date of my appointment, to December 31st, 1907.\nMy time has been divided between the various duties connected with this office and\ndistrict, which duties consisted of calculating, reporting upon and registering boiler designs,\nassisting with engineer's examinations and testing and inspecting boilers.\nIn September, with yourself, I visited the upper parts of this district and assisted you in\nholding examinations for engineers at Golden, Revelstoke, Vernon and Kamloops, at the same\ntime inspecting two newly installed plants.\nThe Columbia River Lumber Company have installed a large and up-to-date saw-mill\nplant at Golden, one interesting feature of which is the water-jacketted burner, whereby the\nfeed water to boilers is heated and a considerable part of the scale-forming matter is deposited,\nthereby increasing the efficiency of the boilers and saving labour in boiler cleaning.\nSeveral accidents have occurred in this district, but none of a serious nature. In one of\nthe coast sawmills the engineer was injured by the bursting of a cored piston he was heating\nat a fire, in order to remove it from the rod, the explosion being caused by water in the\ninternal space generating steam for which no means of escape was provided.\nIn boilers I inspected, the most general causes of deterioration has resulted from leaky\nboiler-house roofs, more especially around chimneys, where no attempt has been made to render\nthe roof water-proof.\nThe above gives you a general idea of the work done, which I trust will meet with your\napproval.\nAppended please find list of defects in detail.\nI have, etc.,\nJohn Downie,\nSenior Inspector, District A. 8 Ed. 7 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery.

C, January 1st, 1908.\nJohn Peck,  Esq.,\nChief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B. C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit my annual report regarding the supervision and\ninspection of steam plants, the examination of engineers and such other duties as appertain to\nmy office. During the year I have been enabled to get to nearly every part of my extensive\ndistrict, but the tax on my time and energies has all along been much too great, so it was\nwith much relief that I learned that the Government had granted us increased assistance by\nappointing two extra Inspectors. In August Mr. Kay was appointed to this district, and\nwith his assistance I have been enabled to overtake a lot of arrears of work, and from now on\nhope to keep up to date without having so much night work in the office or making so many\ninspections out of official hours. Travelling, of course, has to be done at any and all hours, as\nsuits boats and trains, but that is to be expected. I am pleased to report that I find Mr. Kay\nan able and willing colleague, and I appreciate his assistance very much.\nDuring the year just past I have held examinations for the different grades for engineers\nat the following points :\u2014Atlin, Skidegate (Queen Charlotte Islands), Port Essington, Pender\nand Salt Spring Islands, Bella Coola, Namu, Clayoquot, Alberni, Nanaimo, Wellington and,\nat frequent intervals, in Victoria.\nI have examined applicants for the different grades of certificates as follows :\u2014One second\nclass, twenty-two third class, twenty fourth class, three fifth class and twenty-two for temporary\ncertificates. Of these eight failed to obtain sufficient marks to pass. As a rule, however, most\nof the candidates show a better knowledge, seem to be more observant, and, I should think,\nwere safer and more useful men to be placed in charge of the high-pressured and expensive\nmachinery that obtains in most manufactories at the present day.\nI also assisted at the general examinations held at New Westminster, Victoria and\nNanaimo, when there was a sufficient number of candidates to warrant yourself and other\nInspectors in coming to the above-mentioned points.\nIn addition to making the annual inspections, I visit all steam plants as frequently as\npossible, but, owing to my wide field of labour, that is not very often. This I regret, as I\nconsider that the Inspectors should visit the plants when under steam and see conditions as\nthey are in every day operation, as well as when the plants are shut down and made ready for\ninspection; as you know, we have to give several days'notice when we desire to inspect. More\nfrequent visits would be beneficial to both owners and engineers, the former knowing that their\nplants are looked after better, and the latter, if surprise visits are likely to made, will attend\nmore closely to details, thus saving many dollars to the steam users.\nThe past year has seen many new saw and shingle mills erected, while continued development in the whaling business and coal mining industry has been very noticeable. I also\nnoticed an increased use of steam shovels in the placer mining, with very satisfactory results.\nI am again pleased to report that there have been no fatal accidents, nor have there been\nany of serious consequences to boilers in the district; and when one reads of so many boiler\nexplosions in other parts of the Continent, with such disastrous results, I think that there is\nreason for congratulation that this Province has been so singularly free from such accidents.\nBut safety is only attained by continual vigilance and precautionary measures, either in\nattending to weak spots and having same repaired, or by the judicious reduction of steam\npressure to the safe limit for such boilers as show fatigue or deterioration. There have been a\nfew accidents to persons and machinery, but in most cases these could have been avoided by a\nlittle more care on the part of the attendaats.\nIn August I received a report that a man was badly scalded at steam plant No. 669. On\ninvestigating, I found that the foreman of the factory had gone on top of the boiler before the\narrival of the engineer in the early morning, and had opened the main steam valve too rapidly, K 12 Report of Chief Inspector of Machinery. 1908\ncausing the boiler to prime and lifting a body of water upwards with such violence that the\nsafety valve opened and threw the scalding water over him. He had to be removed to the\nhospital, but afterwards recovered. Cause, his own imprudence in interfering with another\nperson's duties.\nA serious accident occurred to the engineer of steam plant No. 653 (a logging engine).\nWhile he was hauling logs close to the engine one log suddenly jumped out of place, striking\nhim and throwing him under the crank and badly breaking his leg and ankle, the cross-head\nalso cutting open his thigh.    Cause, unexpected springing of log.\nIn October an engine in a local mill was smashed beyond further use, by the connecting\nrod strap breaking and allowing the piston to fly through the cylinder cover. Fortunately, no\none was standing in the path of the flying portions of metal, nor was anyone scalded by the\nescaping steam.    Cause, weakening of strap by too large an oil cup hole.\nA large steam separator also burst during this same month, filling the engine room with\nsteam, but, fortunately, all the attendants escaped uninjured. The cause was too rapid opening of the steam valve, combined with the settling of the steam pipe at one portion of it so\nthat water was trapped, thus causing heavy water hammer, with the above result.

C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit my report for that portion of 1907 during which I\nhave had the honour to be Inspector of Boilers and Machinery.\nOn July Sth I was officially notified of my appointment, and from that date to the end\nof the year have been endeavouring to satisfactorily perform my various duties.\nOn July 8th and 9th I was in the New Westminster office, calculating from blue prints\nand boiler specifications and otherwise getting familiarized with the office work.\nFrom July 10th to 29th I was assisting Mr. Madigan with the inspection of boilers in\nDistrict D.\nOn July 30th I came to Victoria, having been appointed Junior Inspector of District B,\nand have been working in this district since then.\nMost of the defects noted in the attached summary were of minor importance, but in the\ncase of boiler No. 491 (a logging locomotive) might have been attended with serious results.\nThis boiler was being tested after repairs to the fire box, when the dome cracked in two\nplaces. This boiler was being tested after repairs to the fire-box, when the dome cracked in\ntwo places. The boiler was originally designed to work at 180 lbs. per square inch, but had\nbeen cut down by Mr. Baxter to 140 lbs. On applying the hydrostatic test the forward side\nof the dome cracked at 160 lbs., and as the boiler-makers were still on the work, I had them\ncut out a large portion of the defective plate and put on a patch. On again applying the test\nthe opposite side cracked at 160 lbs., and I then ordered the dome to be taken off and a new\none put on. The failure of this dome was undoubtedly due to bad boiler practice, the holes\nhaving been punched before flanging and the plate burned during flanging.\nNo. 225, a locomotive type boiler, used for heating purposes, had been left through the\nsummer with wet ashes in contact with the fire-box, with the result that the plate was\npractically corroded through and necessitated considerable patching.\nOne boiler, No. 315, was burned through sediment on the fire sheet. This boiler had a\nuniform deposit on the bottom |- of an inch thick.\nNo. 615 was found with the safety valve greatly overloaded. A few days before\ninspection the boiler had had several new tubes put in, and the boiler-makers had screwed\ndown the safety valve to test their work and had neglected to screw it up again. Fortunately,\nthis boiler is only used, at a very low pressure, for boiling dye.\nWhile in the Comox District I inspected the locomotives of the Wellington Colliery Co.\nfor the first time, as they are now operated apart from the E. & N. Railway.\nI have inspected boilers in Victoria, along the E. & N. Railway, at Port Renfrew,\nComox, and on some of the islands. With the exception of some of the logging boilers, all\nthe others had the necessary certificated engineers in charge. In the case of the logging\nboilers, it was chiefly their inability to get certificated men that prevented the employers\nhaving the same.\nThrough my rounds of inspection I have received the utmost courtesy and consideration\nfrom the owners and also from the engineers, and in all cases an honest effort seemed to be\nmade to live up to the spirit of the Act.\nAttached is a detailed summary of the work done.\nI have, etc.,\nJohn D.

O, January 1st, 1908.\nJohn Peck, Esq.,\nChief Inspector of Machinery, New Westminster, B. C.:\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit the following report for the year ending December,\n31st, 1907 :\u2014\nDuring the year two hundred and five boilers have been inspected, the greater number of\nwhich are in service in the saw-mills of the district. Thirty-nine of these boilers were\ninstalled this year, eighteen of which were built in Eastern Canada under inspection, thirteen\nnew and six second-hand boilers were imported from the United States, and two were built in\nBritish Columbia, one at the Vancouver Engineering Works in Vancouver and one in Rossland. The latter was to be used for heating purposes and was not built under inspection.\nThe boilers imported second-hand from the United States had to be altered, so as to comply\nwith the British Columbia Inspection Act.\nThe lumber mills in the district were operating to their fullest capacity during the\nsummer, and there was not one idle boiler in the whole of the Crow's Nest District. In the\nmining district of West Kootenay many of the steam plants were idle, partly on account of\nthe mines being closed down, but in many cases electricity has been substituted for steam.\nVery few inspections were made in the Boundary District, which accounts for the reduced\nnumber of boilers inspected this year. Nearly every plant in the Boundary was closed down\nduring the last three months of the year, and the inspections were left over until the plants\nwere about to start work, in order to save the owners the trouble and expense of filling the\nboilers for the hydrostatic test. None of these plants were in operation at the end of the\nyear, although one was preparing to operate. The number of new boilers being installed at\ndifferent times made several extra trips necessary.\nNo serious accidents happened during the year, with the exception of the breaking of the\nengine in the Kootenay Shingle Co.'s plant at Salmo and the accident to the haulage engine at\nCoal Creek. In the former the junk ring bolt in the piston broke, with the result that the\npiston was broken and the crank shaft bent in the main bearing. No one was hurt. The\nmain shaft was turned end for end; that is, the crank disc was put on the other end of the\nshaft and the bent part turned up true for the outer bearing. The main shaft of the haulage\nengine at Coal Creek mines broke near the outer bearing, on account of the weight of cable\nwound on the drum causing the shaft to spring and in time breaking it.\nThere were more defects found in boilers of the locomotive type than in any of the other\nclasses, and several of the furnace plates were found to have cracks in them. These cracks\nwere generally at the stay or around the rivets at the furnace door. One crack was discovered\nbetween two rows of stays and the plate was found to be laminated, though the piece cut out\nwas subjected to the bending test and did not show any signs of cracking.\nDuring the earlier part of the summer engineers were scarce, and several plants were\nbeing operated by men who had no certificates, some of the owners making no effort to employ\nlicensed men, even when asked to do so. Up to the present there have been no prosecutions\nunder sec. 35 of the Boiler Inspection Act in this district, and this has been taken advantage\nof by the steam users. When an engineer leaves, either with or without giving sufficient\nnotice of his intention to do so, the owner generally employs a man without a certificate to\noperate his steam plant, and, when written to about the matter, begins to inquire about a\npermit for his present engineer, which is rather unsatisfactory and is annoying to everyone,\nexcept, perhaps, the engineer.\nEngineers' examinations were held in Fernie and Cranbrook during the month of October,\nbut very few availed themselves of the opportunity to attend. Many of the mills were closed\ndown at the time and the engineers had gone to Alberta for the threshing.    Examinations are 8 Ed. 7\nReport of Chief Inspector of Machinery.\nK 17\nheld in Nelson any time I am at home, and thirty-one candidates were examined during the\nyear.

C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit the following report for the year ending December\n31st, 1907 (see tabulated report) :\u2014\nIn addition to work mentioned in same, I assisted at engineers' examinations, both in\nNew Westminster and Vancouver, and also at the Inspectors' examination in Victoria.\nThe only serious accident in this district during 1907 was to a log-haul engineer, operating\nwithout a certificate, and employed at the Gulf Lumber Company's camp, Jervis Inlet. The\nthrottle valve on the logging engine was said to be leaking, and, in order to haul off some line,\nthe engineer stood up on the side of the bull-wheel. The engine made one stroke and jammed\nhis foot between the wheel and frame, and in his excitement he reached for the throttle to\nclose it, pulled it too far and opened up the steam port, starting the engine up and taking his\nleg off above the knee before assistance arrived.\nTwo boilers passed through fire during the year, one at the Rose Hill Dye Works and\nthe other at the Vancouver Steam Laundry.\nA fly-wheel on a factory engine belonging to the Anglo-American Lumber Co., was found\nto be cracked and was condemned.\nThe cylinder head of the main engine at the W. F. Huntting Lumber Co.'s plant was\nfound springing badly and pressure was reduced on the boilers to prevent an accident.\nThe boiler in the World Printing & Publishing Co.'s plant was damaged by low water\nwhile the regular engineer was off watch.\nA cast-iron heating boiler (1| horse-power, not under the jurisdiction of the Inspection\nAct) at J. Y. Griffin's plant exploded on November 5th, wrecked part of the building. This\nwas apparently caused by there being a stop valve between the safety valve and the boiler,\nwhich was shut off when the boiler was cleaned out the previous day and forgotten, thus\nallowing the pressure to exceed the safety limit.\nThe ammonia compressor at the Vancouver Breweries was wrecked on April 21st, owing\nto the fireman starting up the engine with the ammonia discharge valve closed, in spite of\nthe direct orders of the engineer, who happened to be in another part of the building.\nThe crosshead of the engine at the Dominion Steam Laundry was broken through the\ndrain of the heater being frozen up, thus causing the water of condensation in the pipe to tank\non top of the building to back up through the heater into the cylinder, when the steam was\nshut off. This prevented the piston from coming to the end of the stroke, and the momentum\nof the fly-wheel drove the cross-head into the rod, splitting it. The cross-head was renewed\nand again broken before I was notified, and on going over the plant I found conditions as\nabove and remedied same.\nThe locomotive on the McNair Timber Co.'s logging railway at Capilano ran away and\njumped the track twice, fortunately not injuring anybody seriously.\nI would remark that the grade on logging railways should, in my opinion, be limited to\nprevent accidents of this kind happening through the wheels skidding on the track when the\nbrakes are applied, and thus endangering the lives of the engineers and firemen.\nI was again unable to inspect the logging boilers on the upper Coast this year, owing to\npressure of work in Vancouver, and would suggest providing for assistance in this office. I\nwould draw your attention to the number of new boilers built and imported into this district\nduring the year, and point out that visits have to be made to one or another of the boiler\nshops every day while boilers are under construction, and it is almost impossible to leave the\ncity for more than a few days without seriously inconveniencing the manufacturers.\nTrusting that the work of the year has been satisfactory,\nI have, etc.,\nGeorge O.
