ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.

Hongkong,

29th April.

1904.

Report on Ordinance No. 4.

of 1904.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance for the Reservation of a Residential

Area in the Hill District,

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to

the Governor's Instructions.

This measure has as its object the reservation of that portion of the Island of Hongkong commonly known as "the Peak" as a place of residence for persons other than Chinese.

The reservation of this district is desirable in order that a healthy place of residence may be preserved for all those who are accustomed to a temperate climate and to whom life in the tropics presents the disadvantage of an unnatural environment.

Henry S. Bakeler.

Attorney General.
