$ €505. Salary of Inspector.--Said General Inspector shall be paid a salary not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00) per month., and actual and necessary traveling expenses, while in the discharge of his duties, and said salary and traveling expenses shall be paid out of the fees collected from oil inspection; provided, however, that this Act shall not be in conflict with sections 1579 and 1584 and other sections of the Code of Georgia, providing for the appointment and compensation of local oil inspectors.

§ 6506. Inspections, rules for conducting.-No person shall manufacture or have in his possession, or sell or give away for illuminating or heating purposes in lamps or stoves within the State, any oil or burning fluid, wholly or partly composed of naphtha, coal oil, petroleum or products thereof, or of other substances or materials, emitting an inflammable vapor which will flash at a temperature below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, when tested in the closed oil tester, known as the New York State or Elliott Oil Tester, according to the following formula, to wit: Fill the water bath with fresh well or hydrant water up to the lead mark on the inside. Then immerse the oil cup in the water and pour in oil so as to fill the cup up to within one-eighth of an inch of the plunge. Take a piece of blotting paper and remove all air-bubbles from the surface of the oil by lightly touching them with the paper. Next, carefully with a dry towel or cloth, wipe the upper inner parts of the oil cup so as to remove any drops of oil that might have spattered on the upper part of the cup. Then put on the glass cover of the oi! cup, pass thermometer through the hole in the cork to such a point that the mercury bulb will just be covered by the surface of the oil. Next light the lamp and introduce it under the water bath, so adjust the flame that the temperature will rise at the rate of two degrees a minute. Wait until the temperature reaches 99 degrees F., then light a wooden toothpick and pass the flare through the semi-circular opening in the glass plate at such angle as to clear the glass cover, and to a distance about half way between the oil and the cover. The motion should be steady and uniform, rapid and without pause. The appearance of a slight bluish flame shows that the flashing point has been reached. If the oil flashes at this point, it should be branded: "State of Georgia, Rejected." If it does not flash at this point, it should be branded: "State of Georgia, Approved."

$6507. Naphtha allowable for what purposes.-Naphtha and other illuminating products of petroleum, which will not stand the flash test required by this section, may be used for illuminating or heating purposes in the following cases:

First. In street lamps and open-air receptacles, apart from any buildings, factory or inhabited house in which the vapor is burned. Second. In dwellings, factories, or other places of business when vaporized in secure tanks of metal generators made for that purpose, in which the vapor so generated is used for lighting or heating.

Lunatic Asylum.

Third. For use in the manufacture of illuminating gas in gas manufactories, situated apart from dwellings and other buildings.

§ 6508. Brand of Inspector.-The inspector shall provide at his A. 1899, p. own expense instruments for testing oils and stencils for branding packages, to read thus: "State of Georgia, Approved," with name of inspector and date of inspection. The inspector should brand all oils and fluids falling below 100 degrees, flash test, in the Elliott Tester, "State of Georgia, Rejected," with the name of inspector and date of inspection. If the inspector shall find any illuminating oil or fluid under the flash test required by law, or falsely branded, he shall cause the offender to be prosecuted.
