Report on Ordinance No. 5
of 190 5.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance further to amend the Merchant Shipping
Ordinance, 1997, and for other purposes
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
The principal objects of this reasure are to provide
a practicable system in respect of the lights to be carried by
junks, to secure further and better control of the traffic of
small craft in the Harbour, to facilitate the granting of
Special Licences to River Steamers, and to exempt certain shipp
+
in certain cases from the operation of section 4 of the Prin-:
-cipal Ordinance.
