ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,

Hongkong....31t.M.A.X.........1918,

REPORT ON ORDINANCE No...?.........................of 191 &

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled

An Ordinance to amend the Dangerous Smoking Prevention Ordinance, 1900,

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

Governor's Instructions.

2. This Ordinance was introduced at the request of the Naval Authori-

ties, and it is intended to provide a penalty for smoking on board

vessels in or alongside any naval dockyard.

3.

In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excellency the

Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty and on His

behalf.

Attorney General.
