Telegram has been received from the Governor to the effect that arrangements are being made for the reduction of the flash-point limit from 200 to 150 Fahrenheit.
A further communication will be addressed to you on receipt of a written report.
No. 259 DESPATCH.
Merchant Shipping (Amendment) Act, 1901.
Submits.
Copy to be retained in Library (Minutes).
The my point of special importance is the amazing misinterpretation by the Acting Attorney General of the meaning of paragraphs 3, 4 and 5.
In drafting despatch upon that despatch, I overlooked (I hope slightly) the probability that the Colonial Law Officer would object to the repeal of an Imperial Act by the Local Legislature.
Section 35, however, permits this and Mr. Pollack proceeds on the assumption that it can be done.
