INEXPENSIVE SATISFYING

THE CHINA MAIL, DECEMBER 6, 1939

IMPORTANT FEATURE OF EVICTION BILL REVISION DROPPED BY GOVERNMENT

IT IS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED that when the bill to con- solidate and amend the Prevention of Eviction Ordin- ance, which is set down for second reading in Legisla- tive Council to-morrow, is before the Council, the Gov- · ernment intends, at the Committee stage, to move the deletion of the clauses which contain provisions with- drawing the protection of the Ordinance from certain classes of mortgaged premises.

These clauses were originally in- serted on the representation of bank- ing interests in the Colony, who complained that money loaned on mortgage had been "frozen" by the operation of the Ordinance.

The clauses would have authorised them to re-enter and sell property.

It is understood that Govern- ment's decision to withdraw the clauses is connected with the steady increase in the cost of liv. ing, Government being of opin. ion that withdrawal of protection from substantial amounts of property might injure the classes which the Ordinance was passed to protect.
