The object is effected by adding to section 6 of the New Territories Regulation Ordinance, 1910, to the powers which already exist under that section, further powers to the Governor-in-Council to fix and determine the bounda- ries of any market in the New Territories and to make rules for the proper construction of market buildings, the management and inspection of such markets, the class and nature of goods which may be sold therein, the sauitary conditions under which such markets are to be carried on, the purposes to which any funds derived from a market shall be devoted and for raising by means of fees the monies requisite for carrying on such market properly.
