Report on Ordinance No. 33 of 1901,
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
Public
No. 33
of 1901.
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
Objects and Reasons.
By reason of the wording of sections 54 and 56 of this Ordinance it has been considered necessary, in strict law, to call upon owners of buildings to provide on their own land backyards, open spaces in the rear, or lanes, as the case might be, even though public streets of a permanent character were in the rear of such buildings. It has accordingly been thought advisable to make the amendments introduced by clauses 2 and 3 of this Bill, with a view to enabling, in certain of such cases, an exemption to be made from the strict requirements of sections 54 and 56 of Ordinance No. 18 of 1901.
The amendments in question are very similar in their language to sub-section (c) of section 55 of Ordinance No. 13 of 1901.
