REGO 9 DEC 01
Jay Kory, 6th November 1901.
Report on Ordinance
of 1901.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance to amend An Ordinance for the better securing the Peace and Quiet of the Inhabitants of the Town
of Victoria and its vicinity during the night time, (No.
17 of 1844), and for other purposes,
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
Objects and Reasons,
Clause 1-The Preamble to Ordinance 17 of 1844 is repealed because the special nuisance, which is referred to in that preamble, is now out of date, and the nuisance of noisy trades has taken its place.
Clause 2 increases the penalty for making noises at night because experience has shown that such an increase is necessary, seeing that the Manager of an Engineering Firm in this Colony had recently to be summoned twice within an interval of a few days under section 1 of Ordinance 17
of 1844.
Clause 3 of this Bill introduces an amendment in section 2 of the Ordinance so as to make the penalty in that section correspond with the penalty in section 1 of that Ordinance as amended by clause 2 of this Bill.
Clause 4 of the Bill.-In some of the Ordinances which are in force in this Colony, including Ordinance 17 of 1844, the expression "Town of Victoria" or "City of Victoria" has been used, with either no definition attached to it or Clause 4 else with an incomplete definition attached to it, is introduced to remedy this deficiency,
