Report on Ordinance 20 of 1901.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance to amend the law relating to the manufacture of gunpowder and of fireworks, and to regulate the sale and conveyance of gunpowder,
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
Objects and Reasons,
The objects of this Bill, the main provisions of which are adapted from the English Explosives Act, 1875, (38 & 39 Vic, c. 17), are as follows:
(i.) To regulate the manufacture of gunpowder in this Colony, (see clauses 3, 4, 5, and 9).
(ii.) To regulate the manufacture of fireworks, (see clauses 6 and 9).
(iii.) To prohibit the sale of gunpowder in the street, (see clause 10).
(iv) To prohibit the sale of gunpowder, exceeding one pound in weight, except in closed and labelled packages, (see clause 11).
(v.) To provide for fireworks, kept or exposed for sale, being placed under cover. It has not infrequently happened that a serious fire has been started in a shop owing to fireworks being exposed for sale, without any cover or protection, (clause 12).
(vi.) To prescribe certain rules with respect to the packing of gunpowder for conveyance, (see clause 13).
