Dependents of employees heretofore havebeen given passes. The Directors of the Cliicago. Burlington & Quincy have au-thorized a pension plan for the employees of that road. Prior tothe announcement of the plan, a study is being made of the pensionsystems of other Actual and Ideal Boiler Plant Efficiency Avoidable Wastes Are Pointed Out, and a Desirable Stand-ard of Boiler Construction and Operation Recommended By Victor J, Azbe Con^^ulling Engineer, St. Louis, Mo. THE degree of waste in boiler plants is not generallyrealized and there is a tendency to judge conditionsby a few of the better plants where improvements havebeen made and whose results are considered as representativeof the average run of boiler plants. Tables 1 and 2 show two boiler tests made under ordinaryoperating conditions, one on a hand- and one on a stoker-fired boiler. During these tests care was taken that actualoperating methods were pursued. The results are very badbut representative of most smaller and some of the largerinstallations. Table 3 gives the results of three boiler tests, all madeon the same boiler some time apart. The boiler was of theB. & W. type, but poorly set, with a limited combustionchamber of only cu. ft. per rated boiler hp. The stokerin use
