(1) No vessel shall anchor or make fast within one hundred yards from the shore at low water mark of Stone- cutters Island unless with the written permission of the officer in command of His Majesty's regular troops in the Colony, or of the officer in charge of His Majesty's Naval Establish- ments in the Colony, unless such vessel is employed on naval, military, air force, or police duty, or unless such vessel is compelled by stress of weather to anchor or make fast within such distance.
ance No. 4
of 1889, s. 5 (1).
Objects and Reasons.
1. This Ordinance amends the Stonecutters Island Ordinance with the object generally of giving to the Naval Authorities the same powers as to the exclusion of trespassers as those already possesed by the Military Authorities.
2. This is considered necessary as there are a Naval Rifle Range, a Naval Wireless Station and other Naval estab- lishments on the Island.
3. The amendment of the principal Ordinance to effect this object has been suggested by the local Naval Authorities and concurred in by the local Military Authorities.
4. This Ordinance also adds the Colonial Secretary to the list of persons who may grant landing orders under section 3 (1) of the principal Ordinance.
5. A Table of Correspondence between the new provi- sion and those for which they are substituted is attached.
