31-11-19, 31-11-26, 31-11-27, 31-11-28, 31-11-32 and 31-11-33 and 31-11-34,
be, and the same hereby are amended to read as follows:
Sec. 31-11-4. Issuance of licenses. It shall be the duty of
the chief inspector of the Power and Heating Division to examine
all applicants for licensing as engineers or firemen as to their
fitness and qualification in accordance with the requirements of
this chapter and to issue licenses pursuant thereto.
Sec. 31-11-5. Application for examination. All persons
desiring to be licensed to perform the duties of engineer and/or
firemen of stationary or portable boilers shall make application
to the Power and Heating Division to be furnished by said Power
and Heating Division after payment of the fees as hereinafter
provided.
Sec. 31-11-16. Examination on established qualifications.
If said applicant's qualifications are found to meet the require-
ments of this chapter, said applicant shall then be examined as
to his fitness as an engineer or fireman of a stationary or portable
steam boiler or hot water boiler of one of the classes hereinafter
provided for.
Sec. 31-11-18. License granted upon passage of examination.
If said applicant after examination by the chief inspector of the
Power and Heating Division is found to have the requisite knowledge
of power and/or heating equipment and experience to safely operate
same and minimize fire, explosion, asphyxiation hazards and smoke
nuisance, he shall be granted the appropriate license.
Sec. 31-11-19. License certificate. Each person who has suc-
cessfully passed the required examination shall be issued a license
certificate of the proper grade.
Sec. 31-11-26. Exception for emergency operation. In all cases
of temporary disability from accident, sickness or other cause, an
engineer with a lower grade of license, or without a license may
operate boilers and machinery of an engineer of a higher grade,
having charge of the plant, for a period not to exceed thirty days,
provided that the employer of the engineer so disabled shall notify
the chief inspector of the Power and Heating Division as soon as
possible after the occurrence of such disability and submits an
application for a temporary permit, the granting of which shall
permit the temporary change in personnel for such operation.
-2-
Sec. 31-11-27. Enforcement of chapter duty of chief inspector,
It shall be the duty of the chief inspector of the Power and Heating
Division to see that each steam boiler plant and each hot water
boiler plant shall have a person in charge at all times who is in
possession of a proper and valid license as provided by this chapter
when said boiler plant is working under pressure.
Sec. 31-11-28. Duty of licensee. Each person licensed under
this chapter shall devote his entire time during his working hours
while the boilers are working under pressure, to the duties of the
plant under his charge including maintenance and care of such
equipment and appliances that normally come under the jurisdiction
of such engineers and firemen, and such person shall display his
license certificate in a conspicuous place in the boiler room.
Sec. 31-11-32. Suspension, revocation and reinstatement of
license. The chief inspector of the power and heating division
shall have the power to suspend or revoke the license of an engineer
or fireman for permitting water to get too low in the boiler; for
carrying a higher pressure of steam than that allowed; for allowing
or permitting a fire hazard to exist in any boiler room after being
duly notified by authorities having jurisdiction over such hazard;
for persistent violation of the air pollution control code; for an
unnecessary absence from his post of duty; for the excessive use
of intoxicating liquors or other neglect or incapacity; provided,
however, that no license shall be suspended or revoked without
first giving an accused person an opportunity to be heard in his own
defense. When a license of an engineer or fireman shall be revoked,
no license shall be issued to the same person until thirty days
after said revocation, for the second revocation no license shall
be issued to such person for ninety days thereafter, and for any
subsequent revocation, his license shall be permanently revoked.
Sec. 31-11-33. Appeal to board of commissioners. Any licensee
or applicant for a license who has had such license denied, suspended
or revoked may appeal in writing to the board of commissioners of Salt
Lake City for review of such denial, suspension or revocation within
ten days following the effective date of such denial, suspension
or revocation. The board of commissioners shall schedule a hearing
thereon and its decision concerning the matter shall be final.
Sec. 31-11-34. Exception to chapter for private dwellings and
interstate commerce. This chapter shall not apply to any operator
of boilers or plants coming under the jurisdiction of the inter-
state commerce commission. Neither shall this chapter apply to
the attendants of hot water or steam boilers used for heating private
dwellings, nor to the steam or hot water boilers where the rating
is less than ten horsepower, and the working pressures do not exceed
fifteen pounds.

of Salt Lake City that this ordinance become effective immediately.
