Reg'd 20 JAN 121
December 17th 1901.
Report on Ordinance 36 of 1901.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance to authorize The Hongkong Rope Manufacturing Company, Limited, to construct a Tramway within the Colony of Hongkong,
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
The object of this Ordinance is to facilitate the carriage of freight to and from the Rope Company's premises.
The Ordinance follows in the main, the precedent of an Ordinance passed four years ago, namely: The Kowloon Godowns Ordinance, 1897 (No.13 of 1897) as amended by Ordinance No.23 of 1900.
The rights of the public are reserved by section 15 and those of the Crown by section 16.
Wh. Meigh Goodman
Attorney General.
