(b) that notwithstanding (a), the existing

rateable value of the lot or section cannot

be reduced by interim valuations of tenements

comprised in the lot or section (the proviso

to subsection (3) in clause 2(b) effects this).

Clauses 2(a), 2(c) and 3(a) make minor

amendments to the language of the provisions amended

without altering their effect.

3.

Clause 3(b) provides in effect that where an

occupier or agent pays the new Crown rent on a tenement

in pursuance of a demand under section 13 of the

principal Ordinance, he may recover it from the owners

of the tenement, by deduction from rent if he so chooses,

instead of recovering it, as he is at present empowered

to do, from the owners of the lot or section, which could

include the owners of the other tenements in the lot

or section.

Attorney General.
