Objects and Reasons.
1. This Ordinance substitutes new provisions for the Public Places Regulation Ordinance, No. 2 of 1870, and the Chinese Recreation Ground Ordinance, No. 17 of 1923, which it repeals, and in addition confers on the Governor in Council a power to make regulations for bathing places, which the constantly increasing demand for bathing facilities in this Colony has made it necessary to control.
2. The places to which this Ordinance applies are set out in the First Schedule thereto.
3. In the Second Schedule to the Ordinance are re- enacted the existing regulations, collected and revised, made under Ordinance No. 2 of 1870, together with such additions as are now desirable.
