Report on Ordinance.

An Ordinance to further amend the law relating to
Buildings,
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.

Objects and Reasons.
Clause 2.-This interpretation clause is necessary, because in Ordinance 15 of 1889 "verandahs" and "balconies" are dealt with together and are included in one definition. (See paragraph 11 of section 7 of Ordinance 15 of 1889.)
Clause 3.--It is thought advisable, in view of recent disastrous collapses in houses built of blue bricks, to permit the use of such bricks in future only on the uppermost story instead of on the two uppermost stories, unless The Surveyor General thinks fit otherwise to allow,
Clause 4-Under paragraph 4 of section 77 of Ordinance 15 of 1889 any building or work any part of which is in a ruinous and dangerous condition is declared to be a nuisance. It is thought advisable, to obviate difficulties in prosecution, to substitute the words "ruinous or dangerous" for the words "ruinous and dangerous".
