ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,
Hong Kong,
1st March,
.1935.
REPORT ON ORDINANCE No.
و
.of 1935.
1. I have examined the accompanying Ordinance. intituled an
Ordinance to amend the Boarding-house Ordinance, 1917, and
I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not con-
trary to the Governor's instructions.
2. Up to the present the control of common lodging-houses
has been divided, the Governor in Council being empowered
by the Boarding-house Ordinance, 1917, to make regulations,
and the Sanitary Board by the Public Health and Building s
Ordinance, 1903, to make by-laws, for their governance.
3. The purpose of this amending Ordinance is to provide
under the former Ordinance a complete and separate group of
the Chinese rules governing such houses which are known to
as "ku i kun". The enforcement of the licensing provisions
of these rules will remain in the hands of the Secretary
for Chinese Affairs, while the Health Officers will see to
the enforcement of the provisions for sanitation.
4.The Ordinance forms part of the new Sanitation Code, con-
sisting of a number of Ordinances containing a final sus-
pending clause so that they can all be brought into force
at the same time.

5. 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.
