10. Clause 11 repeals the proviso to the first paragraph of section 120 of the principal Ordinance as that proviso seems to authorise the presence of occupants in a dangerous building for a period of at least seven days.
11. Clause 12 adds section 43 to the list of sections set out in section 160 of the principal Ordinance enabling the Building Authority to grant modification or exemption in certain cases. This amendment is consequential on the proviso added to section 43 by clause 8.
12. Clause 13 amends the form of notice in Schedule A to the principal Ordinance so as to provide for the speci- fication of the building work intended to be undertaken.
13. Clause 16 adds a new clause to the form of under- taking with respect to verandahs or balconies to be erected on or over Crown Land provided by Schedule E to the prin- cipal Ordinance. When such new verandahs or balconies are to be erected on a building which requires a scavenging lane, it has been the practice to indicate the line of the future lane on the building plan and to grant the owner a modification on condition that the owner registers in the Land Office an undertaking to the effect that he will open up the scavenging lane when required to do so by the Building Authority. When the verandah undertaking has been regis- tered the new clause will operate to obviate the necessity of further registration with respect to the scavenging lane.
14. Clause 17 repeals the proviso to regulation 3 of the Drainage Regulations in Schedule J to the principal Ordinance. The installation of water closets and all private drainage works are controlled by the Building Authority. It has been found necessary for record purposes to deal with such works in files distinct from the building plan files and consequently to provide for the repeal of the proviso in question.
