FORM.

I hereby certify that the plans and calculations submitted by me for the construction of

on

have been prepared under my personal supervision, and that the said plans and calculations conform in all respects to the Reinforced Concrete Regulations made by the London County Council on the 6th day of July, 1915, in as far as the same are applicable to this Colony.

And I hereby further certify that I have been engaged to attend to the construction aforesaid, including effective supervision in and throughout such construction.

Dated

Authorised Architect.

Objects and Reasons.

1. One of the recommendations in the Report of the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services on the need for re-organization of the Medical and Sanitary Services is that Regulations regarding the construc- tion of buildings should come under a Buildings Ordinance.

2. Hitherto this subject has been dealt with under the Fublic Health and Buildings Ordinance (No. 1 of 1903).

3. It is felt that there are disadvantages in mixing provisions as to the design and construction of build- ings, which concern mainly the Public Works Depart- inent, with provisions relating to house-cleansing and the prevention of disease, which are the special concern of the Sanitary and Medical Departments.

4. This Ordinance extracts from Ordinance No. 1 of 1903 (which it is intended shortly to repeal and replace by another Ordinance or Ordinances dealing with Sanitation and the Prevention of Disease) those provisions which deal with the construction of build- ings and concern the Public Works Department and amends them where amendment is considered necessary.

5. A Table of Correspondence attached to the Bill shews the origin of its various clauses and the nature of the amendments.

July, 1933.

C. G. ALABASTER,

Attorney General.
