in section 5 to include them. It is considered impracticable
to require the registration of all or even a substantial
portion of the Chinese in the Colony.
5.
Section 4, which is not limited to aliens but which
does not apply to persons of Chinese race, re-enacts with
very slight modification section 14 of Ordinance No.19 of
1915. The section is made to apply to all hotel guests and
not merely those over fourteen years of age.
6.
Section 5 which requires passenger lists, in the case
of non-Chinese enacts the existing practice and is derived
from section 9 of Ordinance No.19 of 1915.
7.
Section 6 is derived in part from section 5(a) of
Ordinance No.6 of 1916, and section 7 from section 16 of
Crdinance No.19 of 1915, but the penalties have been reduced.
8. The Schedule is more detailed than the Schedule to
Ordinance No.6 of 1916.
9. I am of opinion that this is an Ordinance to which
His Excellency the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty and on His behalf.
