I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

Kec?

X

Res 9 DEC 09:

An Ordinance to amend the Public Places Regulation

Ordinance, 1870

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

the Governor's Instructons

The Ordinance mak ́s it lawful for the Gove. nor to authorize the

Use of public places for exhibitions, concerts, bazaars, etc, and to allow gate money to be charged. To prevent any question as to the charge being ultra vires it is desirable to authorize such charges as

the Governor may apprové.

Ischael and

Attorney General.
