Explanatory Note,

(Thiu mate is not part of the Regulations, but is intended to

indicate their general purport),

In law revision subsidiary legislation made under the Pleasure Grounds and Bathing Places Ordinance, Chapter 175, was omitted from the Revised Edition, 1950, under authority of section 10 of the Revised Edition of the Laws Ordinance (Ordinance No. 20 of 1048) because of the contemplated rescission and replacement of such legislation. It is not yet, however, possible to effect the intended rescission and replace- ment and, in the meantime, it is necessary to prohibit the use of boats propelled by pedomotive power at bathing places. The purpose of the amendments contained in regulation 2 is to prohibit the use of suck boats within certain limite and also to ensure that the taking out of any beat whether propelled by pedomotive power or not beyond such Imits is done with the greatest caution.

2. The purpose of regalation 3 is to provide for a penally clsume and citation.
