REPORT ON ORDINANCE No. 19 of 1922.
1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled an Ordinance to amend the Dangerous Goods Ordinance, 1873, and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
2. The object of this Ordinance is to enable certain al- terations to be made in the regulations relating to inflam- mable liquids. The proposed new regulations have been, discussed with the Asiatic Petroleum Company and the Stand-
ard Oil Company, and some of them are based on the model
supplied by the Petroleum Department of His Majesty's Govern- ment.
3.
The new section 5 which is enacted by section 2 of the Ordinance is intended to confer the powers contained in sec-
formerly
tions 5 and 6 of the principal Ordinance, and certain addi- tional powers, including the power of prescribing licence conditions which was referred to in section 10 of the princi-
pal Ordinance.
