Z“UNIVERSITY ORDINANCE. In Committsa on the Bill entitled, “An Ordinance further to amend the University Ordinance, 1911,"

Hou. Dr. Ho Kar moved an amendment to section 2 providing that tndeals who had joined the College of Medicine prior to March, 1910, should be entitled to receive the certificates of the College of Medicine on passing the necessary examinations and empowering the. Court of the University to lasus ench certificates, on behalf of the College of Médiolpe

Hon. Mr. WEI YUK 59000ded,

Hon. Mr. POLLOCK supported the motion. As the senior nuofficial member had pointed out, certain students had joined the Collage of Medi ine on the faith of certain promises and conditions, and he thought it was desirable that these promises should be fulfilled and the rights of these students preserved. It might be said: that they were few in number, but he would submit that that was no argument. If there wore only ona porson to whom a possible injustice might be caused it should be the duty of the Council to prevent it. The amendment would not affect is any, way any student who had

fat boiling establishments or an offensive trado which may involve considerable outlay of capital and thon, the lisence might be arbitrarily revoked.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-It is subject to

appeal to the Governor-in. Council. -

The clause was agreed to.. On clause 4,

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC Works-I move that a new proviso (a) that the ward Afty be substituted for forty.

Hoa. Mr. POLLOCK-I move that class 4 be

emitted altogether. I have already pointed out

that considerable aloration is affected in the law by altering the word "front" to the word "abuts. That makes the proviso with reference to not exceeding oue sud half times the width of the street applicable to side streats upon which the building fronts. In the age of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank that might lead to a very absurd consequence. I also pointed out with regard to sub-action 5 the arbitrary powers conferred upon the Building Authority simply because a house does not abut upon the street. I am not going to repeat my arguments, I think this clange is abaniutely faulty in its language and ought to be omitted altegelbor, The DIRECTOR or POULIC WORKS-At the
