I have examined the accompanying Ordinance. intituled an
Ordinance to make provision for the substitution of an
Urban Council for the Sanitary Board, and to repeal the
Public Health and Buildings Ordinances, and I am of
opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary
to the Governor's instructions.
2. In his Report on the need for the reorganisation of
34 the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony the
Director of those Services recommends that the Public
Health and Buildings Ordinance, (No.1 of 1903) which
deals with building cons truction, sanitation, infectious
diseases control, food control, etc., should be broken
up into a number of Ordinances, each dealing with its
particular branch of the Public Health Complex.
3. This Ordinance provides for the replacement of the
Sanitary Board by an Urban Council and also repeals the
various Public Health and Buildings Ordinances. It con- tains a suspending section (section 17) as the Ordinance
is one of a series which are to be brought into force
