THE NEW LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL
LONDON, 20th March,
In the House of Commons, Ritchie, President of the Local Government Board, introduced the bill for local self-govern Brut.
HONGKONG, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1888.
NINE months ago we commented at sonte length on the rating laws of the Colony, pointed out the bangling incon- sistencies which existel, and thut by the louseness of the last Rating Ordinance the Government was apparently placed in a serious difficulty with the ratepay era. Now, a new Bill for the rating of It proposes to have elective county the Colony has been read a first and sc- councils in the large towns, Lvested with cond time, and will be considered a full powers locally, including those of licens- commities to morrow. It is a great pitying and similar separate councis in Lon that Bills of this nature, affecting, os
this does, the whole of the owners and don elected by the County, with a Lord occupiers of property throughout the Lieutenant; and the abolition of the Board Colony, cannot be printed and adver- of Works. tised immediately on the first reading, for under present regulations the Bills are in committee, and passed, before the cominunity can get time to consider the probable efect the new low may have upon them,

The proposed New Rating Ordinance ia a decided improvement in some re- spects upon the existing law, although it contains some inconsistencies and de- fects in drafting for which we presume the Attorney Generel is not responsible. One instance of inconsistency is in the provistons for making and amending the sound valuation list provided by the Ordinance, the list being directed to be made and verified by the Assessor and the amendments to be caused to be made The by the Treasurer. What the Treasurer has to do with the valuation list, or its amendments, beyond the receipt of the rates to be levied on the rateable value. of the property to be enumerated in the list, it is difficult to understand. An instance of defect is in the form of particulars required to ba furnish by the owners or counters, where, in certain cases the total rent is 1,001,3210) % for 87 32 % prem
