By paragraph (b) of section 2 of this Ordinance the
definition of the term railway is extended to cover railways
in process of construction and works connected with railways
authorized to be constructed.

The powers of the administrator are defined, collected and
extended in the new section 32 of the principal Ordinance
which is to be substituted by section 5 of this Ordinance.
These powers include a power to make rules subject to the ap-
-proval of the Governor in Council. This enables sections 29
and 34 of the principal Ordinance to be repealed. Section 29
is repealed by section 4 of this Ordinance, and section 34 is
repealed by section 6 of this Ordinance. As the rules will be
very detailed and voluminous, and will deal solely with railway
administration, it is not considered necessary that they should
be gazetted. This is provided for by sub-section (3) of the
new section 32.
Sub-section (4) of that section provides that
the administrator shall keep at each station a copy of the rules
in English and Chinese and shall allow any such copy to be ins-
-pected at all reasonable hours.

It
Section 8 of this Ordinance recasts sub-section (2), (3)
and (4) of section 35 of the principal Ordinance. It omits
the reference to by-laws for the conduct of railway employees
as that matter will now fall under the new section 32 (2).
provides for the procedure upon an appeal to the Governor
against the imposition of a penalty by the manager. Sub-section
(3) of section 35 of the principal Ordinance provided that the
manager might not impose any penalty on any railway employee
which would exceed the amount of seven days pay in any one month
This might be insufficient. The new form of the section does
not contain this limitation, but it provides that, for the pur-
-pose of the recovery of the penalty, not more than seven days
pay may be deducted in any one month, except upon the termina-
-tion of the person's employment. The old sub-section (5) be-
- comes sub-section (6).
