3. There are many Ordinances, of which the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, 1900, and the Harbour of Refuge Ordinance, 1909, are examples, where, subject to provisions relating to the payment of compensation in proper cases, the interests of private lot holders are extinguished or subordinated to the interests of the public.

4. This amending Ordinance therefore repeals the provisoes referred to above and makes provision for com- pensation to persons injuriously affected.

5. Section 2 of this Ordinance substitutes a new section for section 3 of the principal Ordinance. Sub-section (1) of the new section re-enacts the original section as far as the first proviso thereto, except that the words "(renewable on the usual terms) have been added as it is usual for Crown Leases for 75 years to be renewable. Sub-section (8) re-enacts the last paragraph of section 3 of the principal Ordinance.

6. The proviso to sub-section (1) and sub-sections (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of the new section 3 are new and give the Governor in Council power to award compensation on the lines of sections 12 and 13 of the Harbour of Refuge Ordinance, No. 39 of 1909.

7. Section 3 of this Ordinance repeals the latter part of section 5 of the principal Ordinance.
