Hongkong, 15th December....

1909.

Report on Ordinance No. 43. of 1909.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance to amend the Order and Cleanliness Ordinance,

1867

r

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

the Governor's Instructons

Under a Government Notification made under section 3 of Ordi-

-nance & of 1887 a fee of ten dollars has been charged for licences to money changers whereas this part of that Ordinance does not apply to the New Territories and a fee of five dollars should have been

charged under section 5 of Ordinance 2 of 1667.

The Ordinance increases the charge imposed under the last named Ordinance to ten dollars and legalises the collections hitherto made.

Infael and

Attorney General.
