INSPECTION OF MACHINERY.
The Labour Bills Committee of the Legislative Council has made some amendments to the Inspection of Machinery Act Amendment Bill. A new clause provides that if the cylinder of a steam engine has been bored out or renewed at any time or any alteration has been made in the diameter of the cylinder, the inspector must be notified. In Clause 8, which provides that an engine and its boilers must in certain circumstances be in charge of separate persons, words have been inserted ■to require the person in charge of the boilers to be the holder of a certificate of not less than sacond-class. An aidition to Clause 11 provides that where two or more steamengines are working side by side, and are driving a mutual shaft by means of belting or gearing, the class of engine-driver required must be determined with reference to the combined circular inch area of the cylinders.
