A BILL
ENTITLED
AN Ordinance to amend the Liquors Consolida-
tion Ordinance, 1911.
BE it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-
1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Liquors Amend- ment Ordinance, 1912.
2. Section 57 of the Liquors Consolidation Ordinance, 1911, is hereby amended as follows:-
(a.) by the deletion of sub-section (2);
(b.) by renumbering sub-section (3) as sub-section
(5);
(c.) by the insertion after sub-section (1) of the
following sub-sections :--
"(2.) The Governor-in-Council may classify the warehouses to which such licences are issued or intended to be issued.
(3.) The Legislative Council may at any time by resolution alter the fees which may be charged for such licences in respect of all classes or any class of such warehouses. Provided however that no fee shall be charged for a licence granted to the Naval or Military authorities for Naval or Mili- tary purposes.
(4.) Subject to the provisions of sub-section (3) the fee for every, such licence shall be two hundred and fifty dollars per annum."
Objects and Reasons.
This Bill is introduced in order that licensed warehouses may be classified as certain classes of such warehouses can stand a higher licence fee than others. At present they may roughly be said to fall into four classes, warehouses for European wines, those for Chinese wines, those for bean curd shops and those for the shops which keep spirits of wine with which to make tinctures and scents.
