ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS

Hongkong,

22nd August....19 10.

Report on Ordinance No..... 21

of 1910

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance to provide for the narrowing, stopping up,

diversion, turning or alteration in levels of Highways

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

Will.

50.

the Governor's Instructions

This Ordinance has been found necessary in view of the lay-

-ing out of Crown lands, the formation of new streets and the di-

-version of portions of existing streets in various parts of the

Colony.

The phraseology so far as relates to the powers conferred is based in part on The Imperial Highways Act 1835 (vide sec. 84).

--

Section 2 empowers the Governor-in-Council to notify by publi-

-cation in the Gazette the work proposed to be undertaken under

the Ordinance on any street on Crown land.
