Objects and Reasons.
Clause 2 is introduced in order more effectually to carry out the intention of the Legislature which was to confiae the electors of the two elected members of the Sanitary Board to those who are special or common jurors and to those who would be jurors but for the nature of their avocations or for age or infirmity. In the clause as now drafted this intention is carried out save that persons holding offices of emolument under the Crown and Military officers are omitted as they and their views are amply represented by the official and appointed members of the Board.
Clause & substitutes a definite for an indefinite area in section 153 (2).
Clauses 4 and 5 are intended to remove doubts which have arisen in cousequence of the use of the word “frouts' in section 188 and of the word “abuts" in section 189 and also to make it clear how the height of a corner building abutting on streets of different widths is to be determined.
Clause 6 transfers certain duties from the Building Authority, who has not a sufficient staff for the purpose, to authorised architects.
It has been found that changes of architects involving substantial alterations in plans submitted throws a great deal of extra work upon the staff of the Building Authority. The amendment introduced by clause 7 will it is anticipated cheek these changes somewhat.
