REPORT ON ORDINANCE No......................................................

.................of 191

1.

An

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled

Ordinance to amend the Opium Ordinance, 1914, and the Opium Ordi-

nance, 1917,

and 1 am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the

Governor's Instructions.

2.

Section 2 makes it clear that the tonnage referred to in sec-

tion 46 of the Opium Ordinance, 1914, is net register tonnage.

3.

Section 3 clears up a similar ambiguity in section 49 of the

Opium Ordinance, 1914.

'

Section 4 corrects a drafting error in section 57 of the Opium

Ordinance, 1914. This error was pointed out in paragraph 4 of

4.
