REBR
THE LAW IS TO BE CHANGED TO MAKE IT AN OFFENCE IF WATER IS ALLOWED TO DRIP FROM AIR-CONDITIONERS ON TO PASSERS-BY.
IT WILL ALSO BE AN OFFENCE TO ALLOW HOT AIR TO BE DISCHARGED IN THE PATH OF PASSERS-DY.
THESE ARE TWO IMPORTANT \CHANGES CONTAINED IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND URBAN SERVICES CANENDMENT) BILL 1974 UMICH WAS GAZETTED TODAY.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT CHANGE WILL BE TO MAKE IT AN OFFENCE IF AIR-CONDITIONERS AND VENTILATION SYSTENS IN RESTAURANTS, DANCE HALLS, THEATRES AND CINEMAS IN THE IV TERRITORIES ARE NOT KEPT RUNNING DURING OPERATING KOURS FOR THE BENEFIT OF TUE PUBLIC.
FOR MANY YEARS, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE COMPLAINED OF DISCOMFORT FROM LACK OF ADEQUATE AIR-CONDITIONING IN VARIOUS SCHEDULED PREMISES, ESPECIALLY CINEMAS. OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY PEOPLE LIVING CLOSE TO SCHEDULED PRENSES ABOUT THE ANNOYANCE AND INCONVENIENCE CAUSED DY HOT AIR ENITTED BY CONDENSERS AND DY WATER DRIPPING DOUN FROM AIR-CONDITIONING UNITS.
HOWEVER THE REGULATIONS WILL BE EXTENDED TO ALL PREMISES SO THAT EVEN HOUSEHOLDERS, BUSINESSES OR ANYBODY ELSE USING AN AIR- CONDITIONER OR VENTILATING SYSTEM NUST STOP THE DRIPS AND/OR HOT AIR CAUSING A NUISANCE TO OTHERS.
ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT FOR HERBERS OF THE PUBLIC WILL BE THAT IN FUTURE IT WILL DE AN OFFENCE FOR OPERATORS OF CINEMAS, RESTAURANTS AND OTHER SCHEDULED PREMISES TO SUITCH OFF AIR- CONDITIONERS DURING DUSINESS HOURS.
THE TIGHTENED-UP REGULATIONS WILL GO INTO FORCE AFTER A +BREATHING PERIOD, PROBABLY A YEAR, TO DE GRANTED SO THAT OPERATORS OF RESTAURANTS, DANCE HALLS, THEATRES AND CINEMAS AND OTHER SCHEDULED PREMISES WILL HAVE TIME TO COMPLY WITH THEN IN ADVANCE.
OFFICERS OF THE URDAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT WILL GIVE LECTURES AND ADVICE ON WHAT IMPROVEMENTS OR CHANGES SHOULD DE HADE TO VARIOUS PREMISES.
