4. As the War Expenditure of the Colony recently undertaken or contemplated exceeds the estimate of revenue from the War Taxation Ordinance, the question of introducing a Resolution into the Legislative Council providing for an increase in the above rates has had to be considered; and in this connexion it has been deemed desirable to reduce the maximum for duty free admission charges from 20 cents to 4 cents and at the same time to increase the duties on all other admission charges.
5. This necessitates amending section 5 (1) (a) of the Ordinance by changing the 20 cents exemption to 4 cents which is effected by clause 2 of the Bill.
December, 1940.
