Report on Ordinance No.

24

of 19 09.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

493

An Ordinance to amend the Rating Ordinance, 1901

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

the Governor's Instructions

This

Ordinance provides for the exemption from assessment

for rates of villages and areas in the New Territories and

elsewhere in the Colony.

Henry Berkely

Attorney General.
