The Objects and Reasons state that the development of the New Territories (other than New Kowloon), and parti cularly the growth of Tai Po Market. seems to call for power to initiate some simple system of sanitary control. For example, the keeping of pigs in unsuit able places has become a serious nuisance at Tai Po Market. Clause 2 of the bill accordingly inserts in section 6 of the principal Ordinance a sub-section giving the Governor in Council the same power (ther than Kowloon) as the Sanitary Board has to make by-laws for the rest of the Colony.

The saine clause gives the Governor in Council power to set apart cemeteries in the New Territories (other than New Kowloon), and also power to prohibit the burial or depositing of buman re mains in or upon any speciñed places in the New Territories (other than New Kowloon). This later power may be neceska in certain residential districts,
