        Company to give certificates of inspection in and for the
        City of Philadelphia.

        Section 1.  Acceptance of Certificates of Steam Boiler
     Insurance Company
        The chief inspector appointed under said ordinance and act of
     Assembly (Act of 1864, May 7, P.L. 880) is hereby authorized and
     required to accept the certificates of inspection of said Steam-
     Boiler Insurance Company in lieu of the examination now required
     by law, and to indorse his approval confirming the same, or give
     a receipt therefor, for which service he shall receive a fee of
     one dollar in each case; and any person or persons possessing
     such certificate, indorsed as hereinbefore mentioned, or a
     receipt therefor as hereinafter prescribed, the same being
     unrevoked, shall be exempt from the pains and penalties of the
     above recited act of Assembly and ordinance passed in pursuance
     thereof: Provided, nevertheless, That where the inspectors of
     said company shall decline to continue an insurance, or shall
     cancel the certificate of inspection in consequence of the
     failure of the party to comply with the requirements of the said
     act of Assembly or ordinance, or in consequence of the insecure
     character, imperfect safeguards or careless management of any
     stationary steam-engine or boiler, they shall forthwith notify
     the chief inspector of said city in writing of the refusal and
     grounds therefor.  1869, July 7, P.L. 1279, Sec. 1.
        Section 2.  Misdemeanors by Inspector
        If any inspector of the said company shall neglect to give
     the notice required by the proviso to section first of this act,
     or shall effect an insurance on any stationary steam-engine or
     boiler within the City of Philadelphia not provided with the
     safeguards required by the aforesaid ordinance, or shall
     knowingly permit an insurance to continue upon any stationary
     steam-engine or boiler in said city not furnished as aforesaid,
     he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
     in the court of quarter sessions for the said county, shall for
     each offense be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding five
     thousand dollars, and to undergo imprisonment in the jail of
     said county, either with or without labor, as the court may
     direct, for a term not exceeding two years.  1869, July 7, P.L.
