of Police, $2."
Memorandum.
Certain licences which were formerly issued by the Colonial Secretary are now issued either by the Colonial Treasurer or by the Captain Superintendent of Police.
It was the practice for the Colonial Secretary in the case of the transfer of a licence to another person to charge a fee of $2 for such transfer under the provisions of Ordinance 1 of 1888 (Official Signatures Fees Ordinance, 1888).
There is no provision in the said Ordinance authorizing a fee to be charged for the signatures of the Colonial Treasurer and Captain Superintendent of Police and it is desirable that the amount formerly levied by the Colonial Secretary should now be levied by the Colonial Treasurer and Captain Superintendent of Police respectively.
This is not a new impost.
