SIX LICENCES TO COST MORE
***
THE FEE FOR THE DUPLICATION OR AMENDMENT OF SIX TYPES OF LICENCES UNDER THE MISCELLANEOUS LICENCES REGULATIONS HAS BEEN RAISED.
A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THE FEE, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN REVISED SINCE 1964, HAS BEEN INCREASED FROM $5 TO $50. IT APPLIES TO LICENCES ISSUED FOR THE OPERATION OF AN AMUSEMENT GAME CENTRE, AUCTIONEER, DANCING SCHOOL, PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC, PUBLIC DANCE HALL AND TIMBER STORE.
THE SPOKESMAN ADDED THAT UNDER THE INTERPRETATION AND
GENERAL CLAUSES ORDINANCE, A FEE OF $50 HAS ALREADY BEEN CHARGED FOR A SIMILAR SERVICE.
FRONTIER AREA REDEFINED ***
THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE FRONTIER CLOSED AREA HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE CLOSURE OF THE OLD POLICE CHECKPOINT ON THE MAN KAM TO ROAD BY THE INDUS RIVER BRIDGE, AND THE OPENING
METRES FURTHER NORTH.
OF A NEW CHECKPOINT ABOUT 600
THE CHECKPOINT HAS BEEN MOVED TO AVOID THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED IF THE MANY CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES TRAVELLING TO AND FROM THE SHA LING BORROW AREA, HAD HAD TO PASS THROUGH IT.
THE ADJUSTMENT IS BROUGHT INTO EFFECT BY THE FRONTIER CLOSED AREA ORDER 1984, AND THE PUBLIC ORDER CURFEW ORDER 1984 WHICH ARE GAZETTED TODAY.
A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN EXPLAINED THAT THE NEED FOR THE ADJUSTMENT HAD PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SOME OTHER MINOR CHANGES TO THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE BOUNDARY OF THE CLOSED AREA TO MAKE IT MORE PRECISE AND, IN PARTICULAR, TO EXCLUDE LE! UK VILLAGE, THE NORTHERN PART OF WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INSIDE THE BOUNDARY.
