Explanatory Nole.

(This Note is not part of the by-laws, but is intended to indicate their general Purport).

The purpose of these by-laws is to provide for certain increases

in the conservancy charges payable to the Government with effect from 1st April 1967, in respect of conservancy services rendered to the public by the Urban Services Department,

2.

The proposed increases are intended to offset the rise în the cost of the service, which is at present operating at a substantial loss. The annual charges are therefore to be increased from $40 to $60 per foor for domestic premises and for non-domestic premises, with the exception of schools, from $45 to $72. It is proposed at the same time and for the sake of simplicity to abolish the differential charges for hill districts; the small decrease in revanue which will result will be offset by an increase in the charges for temporary services.
