Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance is introduced to render Ordinance No. 5 of 1895 more intelligible, serious errors having been discovered during the course of the Revision of the Laws, This Ordinance deals with traffic as well as licences: the word licensing has therefore been deleted from the title. No new principle is introduced.
