Report on Ordinance No.23 of 1900.
I have examined the accompanying Ord-
inance entitled: -
"An Ordinance to further amend The
Kowloon Godowns Tramways Ordinance, 1897."
and I am of opinion that the Ordin- ance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's In- structioris.
This Ordinance relates to the Tram -
ways used by the Kowloon Godowns Company for trans- ferring freight between their Godowns and the vessel lying at their wharf. Its object is to enable the Com- pany to use a different kind of rail from the old steel grooved rail which was intended to be used when Ordin- ance No.18 *** of 1897 was passed.
Rails of another type have since been found more durable. It will still be necessary for the Company to obtain the approval of the Director of Public Works before the rails proposed to be used can be laid down. So long as the Director of Public Works is satisfied with the material and type of rail it seemd unnecessary
insist upon the use of the steel grooved one.
