1. I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled an
Ordinance to apply a sun not exceeding Forty-nine million seven
hundred and six thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven Dollars
to the Public Service of the financial year beginning on the 1st
January, 1940, and ending on the 31st March, 1941, and also to apply an additional sum not exceeding Five hundred and fifty-nine thousand one hundred Dollars to the Waterworks Renewals and
Improvements Fund for the service of that Fund in the said
financial year.
2. The Ordinance is in the form usual for annual appropriation Ordinances save that it is to apply to a financial "year" of fifteen months instead of twelve and that a third section is added to cover appropriation from the Waterworks Renewals and
Improvements Fund.
3. I am of opinion that this Ordinance is not contrary to the Governor's instructions and that it is one to which His Excellency may properly assent in the name of His Majesty and on
His behalf.
Alaleting
Attorney General.
