HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 1519

140. On and after June 1, 1939, it shall be unlawful for
any person, firm, partnership or corporation to operate under
pressure in this state a boiler to which this sub-title applies
without a valid inspection certificate, as provided for in this
sub-title. The operation of a boiler without such inspection
certificate or at a pressure exceeding that specified in such
inspection certificate shall constitute a misdemeanor on the
part of the owner, or user or operator thereof and be punish-
able by a fine not exceeding one hundred ($100. 00) dollars, or
imprisonment not to exceed 30 days or both, at the discretion
of the court. Each day of such unlawful operation shall be
deemed a separate offense.

141. No boiler which does not conform to the rules and reg-
ulations formulated by the Board of Boiler Rules governing
new installations shall be installed in this State after three
months from the date of the approval of this sub-title by the
Governor.

All boilers installed and ready for use, or being used, before
the said three months shall have elapsed shall be made to
conform to the rules and regulations of the Board of Boiler
Rules governing existing installations, and the formulae there-
in prescribed shall be used in determining the maximum al-
lowable working pressure of such boilers.

All boilers to be installed after three months from the date
of the approval of this sub-title by the Governor shall be in-
spected during construction by an inspector authorized to in-
spect boilers in this state, or if constructed outside the state
by an inspector holding a certificate from the National Board
of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, as provided in Sec-
tion 137 or a certificate of authority from the Chief Inspector
of this State, which certificate shall be issued by the said Chief
Inspector to any inspector who holds a certificate of authority
to inspect boilers, issued by a state which shall have adopted
boiler rules that require standards of construction and opera-
tion substantially equal to those of this State.

142. The owner or user of a boiler required by this sub-title
to be inspected by the Chief Boiler Inspector, or his deputy in-
spectors, shall pay to the Chief Inspector eight ($8. 00) dollars
for each high pressure boiler except miniature boilers, in-
ternally inspected; three ($3. 00) dollars for each high pressure
boiler except miniature boilers, externally inspected while
under pressure; two and 50/100 ($2. 50) dollars for each min-
iature boiler internally inspected; provided that not more
than eleven ($11. 00) dollars shall be collected for such in-
spections of any high pressure boiler, made for any one year.
The Chief Inspector shall give receipts for said fees and shall
