OBJECTS AND REASONS.

1. The object of this Bill is to give the Governor in Council power to make bye-laws for the maintenance of order and safety in the conduct of the business carried on at Holts Wharf.

2. The general law is not quite suimble for this purpose, and this was recognised in the case of the Hong kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co, Ltd., who were granted a special Ordinance for a similar purpose in 1908.

3. The power of making bye-laws has been given in this case to the Governor in Council because the man agement of Holts Wharf is not in the hands of a legal entity, such as 2 company.

4. Clause 5 is formal.

5. A draft of the proposed bye Jaws is published with the bill.
