The enclosed diagram illustrates

the meaning of the amendments referred to. The area marked

"scavenging lane" is excluded from the calculation because

if the lane in the rear did not exist this area would have

to be provided by the owner as a scavenging lane and as

such could not be included in the calculation for open

space.

The new Section 264 (b) introduc-

-ed by Section 83 is designed to avoid delay in dealing

with plans by empowering the Building Authority to grant

applications for modification of or exemption from the law

in cases of minor importance without an obligatory

reference to the Sanitary Board or Governor in Council.

The origin of the amendments made

10.

by Sections 84 and 85 of the Ordinance is to be found in

an amendment, copy of which is printed at page 37 of the

Mr.

Hansard report, moved by an Un-official Member

W

Pollock which found considerable support among un-

-official critics. Instead of adopting that amendment it

was considered more desirable to extend the scope of

Section 265 of the Principal Ordinance and at the same

time to give the Governor-in-Council power to refer a

point of law to the Full Court for its opinion, as

explained
