INSPECTIONS.
All Boilers under the care of this Company are care- fully inspected annually, internally and externally, by competent, practical men, and frequent visits of inspec- tion are made beside. Steam Gauges are tested, Safety Valves properly adjusted and weighted, Boiler Connec- tions carefully examined, and information given relative to setting and management-all with a view to economy in the use of fuel, and safety to fire and property.
Thorough inspection is the foundation of this business, ind is the best safeguard against accidents occurring in ie use of steam boilers; nevertheless, circumstances lay arise beyond the control of the steam user independ- it of 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.
