(c) where the use is insanitary.

It is also possible that

removal might be necessary on some ground not specified in

sub-section (3).

Accordingly, sub-sections (4) and (5)

give an absolute power of removal.

23.

There are other minor alterations:

24.

(a) In section 162 of the principal Ordinance it

was only construction that was an offence.

The new section makes maintenance also an

offence.

That necessitates the distinction

drawn in sub-sections (1) and (2) between

construction before the commencement of the

amending Ordinance and construction after that

date.

(b) The old section 162 applied only where there

was connection with a sewer or drain. The

new section will take effect in cases where

the discharge is into a sump.

(c) Provision is made in sub-section (8) for re-

covering the cost of removal where it has to

be done by the Building Authority.

In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His

Excellency the Governor may properly assent inthe

His Majesty and on His behalf.
