Objects and Reasons.
1. In his Report on the need for the reorganisation of the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony the Director of those Services recommends that the Public Health and Build- ings Ordinance, (No. 1 of 1903) which deals with building con- struction, sanitation, infectious diseases control, food con- trol, etc., should be broken up into a number of Ordinances, each dealing with its particular branch of the Public Health Complex.
2. This Bill provides for the replacement of the Sanitary Board by an Urban Council and also repeals the various Public Health and Buildings Ordinances.
3. The Sanitary Board had four official and six unofficial members, two of whom were elected. It is proposed in the Urban Council to have five official members and also to in- crease the number of unofficial members to eight. Of these, two are to be elected, and six, of whom three must be Chinese, nominated by the Governor.
