Hongkong,

23th September,- 1905.

Report on Ordinance No. 5

of 190 5.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance further to amend the Merchant Shipping

Ordinance, 1997, and for other purposes

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

the Governor's Instructions.

The principal objects of this reasure are to provide

a practicable system in respect of the lights to be carried by

junks, to secure further and better control of the traffic of

small craft in the Harbour, to facilitate the granting of

Special Licences to River Steamers, and to exempt certain shipp

+

in certain cases from the operation of section 4 of the Prin-:

-cipal Ordinance.

Hery &. Burkeley.

Attorney General.
