I have examined the accompanying Ordinance. intituled an

Ordinance to make provision for the substitution of an

Urban Council for the Sanitary Board, and to repeal the

Public Health and Buildings Ordinances, and I am of

opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary

to the Governor's instructions.

2. In his Report on the need for the reorganisation of

34 the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony the

Director of those Services recommends that the Public

Health and Buildings Ordinance, (No.1 of 1903) which

deals with building cons truction, sanitation, infectious

diseases control, food control, etc., should be broken

up into a number of Ordinances, each dealing with its

particular branch of the Public Health Complex.

3. This Ordinance provides for the replacement of the

Sanitary Board by an Urban Council and also repeals the

various Public Health and Buildings Ordinances. It con- tains a suspending section (section 17) as the Ordinance

is one of a series which are to be brought into force
