Attorney General's Office,
28th. May, 1900.
Report on Ordinance No. 12 of 1900.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance
entitled An Ordinance to further amend the Regulation of Chinese
Ordinance, 1888.
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not
contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
Obiects and Reasons.
The operation of certain enactments of the Regulation
of Chinese Ordinance, 1888, has been, hitherto, confined, wholly
or chiefly, to the City of Victoria. The growth of building
and population in the other parts of the Colony,renders it
desirable that the Governor in Council should have power to
extend, from time to time, the benefit of such enactments to
other places. The object of this Ordinance is to confər the
necessary authority for that purpose.
Section 21 of Ordinance No.13 of 1888 deals with the playing
of musical instruments in any public streets or roads within
the City of Victoria.
Section 23 deals with processions.
Section 84 deals with inflammable structures.
