Enclosure No. 2.

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,
Hong Kong 26th February, 1932.
REPORT ON ORDINANCE No
4
of 1932.
1. I have examined the accompanying Ordinance. intituled an
Ordinance to amend the Po Leung Kuk Incorporation
Ordinance, 1893, and I am of opinion that the Ordinance
is one which is not contrary to the Governor's instructions.
2.
Under section 5 (1) of the principal Ordinance the
Permanent Board of Direction of the Po Leung Kuk was made
to consist of not less than five and not more than ten
persons including the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, as
ex officio president, and also the members of the
Legislative Council representing the Chinese, as ex officio
vice-presidents.
3. Until recently the representative of the Chinese on
the Executive Council was also a member of the Legislative
Council. The primary object of this amending Ordinance is
to enable him to retain his ex officio position as a vice- president.
4. As, however, there will now be a president and four
vice-presidents it is thought that a maximum of five
ordinary members may be insufficient.
The amending

Ordinance accordingly removes the limit to their number
imposed by the principal Ordinance.

5. The opportunity has been taken to add 5 sub-sections
to section 2 of the principal Ordinance giving the Society
powers to make and deal with investments similar to the
powers given to the Tung Wah Hospital by sections 5 and 6
of Ordinance No. 31 of 1930.
6. In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His
Excellency the Governor may properly assent in the name of
His Majesty and on His behalf.
ababest
Attorney General.
