INSPECTIONS.
All Boilers under the care of this Company are care. inspected annually, internally and externally, by etent, practical men, and frequent visits of inspec- ire made beside. Steam Gauges are texted, Safety be properly adjusted and weighted, Boiler Connec- carefully examined, and information given relative tting and management-all with a view to economy use of fuel, and safety to fire and property. wrough inspection is the foundation of this business, s the best safeguard against accidents occurring in se of steam boilers; nevertheless, circumstances irise beyond the control of the steam user independ- if any inspection, however thorough, which would
result in disaster, involving not only destruction of prop- erty, but loss of life and personal injury. It is therefore well to consider these points when affecting Insurance.
The work of the Company thus far has brought to light many and dangerous defects; and we risk nothing in saying that disastrous explosions have been prevented. Where boilers are left unexamined for months and years together, incrustation, internal and external corrosion, burned plates and blisters, shorten their working age and render them positively dangerous. The usual mode of inspection, applying the hydraulic test, take no cog. nizance of these defects, and does but little towards insuring safety.
