REPORT ON ORDINANCE No.......20....................of dør .1921.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled

en Ordinance to amend the Tobacco Ordinance, 1916,

82

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

Governor's Instructions.

2.

Section 2 gives the Governor in Council a slightly wider power

of dealing with tobacco duties in anticipation of a résolution of the Legislative Council. The powers now conferred correspond with those entrusted to the Legislative Council by section 7 of the prin-

cipal Ordinance.

3.

Section 3 provides that duty shall be paid on tobacco manufac- tured in the Colony which is removed into a bonded or licensed ware- house, before removal from such bonded or licensed warehouse.
