I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

со

3387

RECR

Rro 2 FEB 10,

132

An Ordinance to amend the Squatters Ordinance, 1690

:

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

the Governor's Instructions

1290.

This Ordinance amends section 12 of the Squatters Ordiname,

In certain cases squatters' claims have ben allowed by the

Board but it has been deemed desirable to withhold the grant of

Leases until s nitary buildings have been constructed and the

Director of Public Works is given the alternative power of

arranging for the grant of new sites in approved positions in

exchange for the original holdings.

In the event of the arrangement not being effected the amount?
