Report on Ordinance No.....35 of 1909.
1909
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entilled
An Ordinance to provide for the Reservation of certain lands in Victoria, in the Peak District, and in Kowloon as Recreation Ground, and to provide for Regulations as to the use thereof.
and I am of opinim that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructons
The open spaces mentioned in the Ordinance have been used for some years as recreation grounds, and their being opened as such have been officially notified but there has been no legislative sanction to
their being set apart for such purposes. The boundaries of the King's
Park have only recently been determined, and the Park has hitherto
been officially described as a portion of the area of Crown Land in
Kowloon proposed to be set aside in the King's Park.
The Ordinance empowers the Governor to make regulations for ensuring
the better enjoyment of these recereation grounds.
Intay and
Attorney General.
