Objects and Reasons,

The object of this Bill is to amend the Tramway Ordi- nance, 1902, in certain respects.

Section 1 of the Bill is formal.

By section 2 of the Bill, an accidental omission from that section of the words "telephouie or electric

1 after the word "telegraphic" in the seventeenth line of the section is rectified.

Sections 3 and 4 simplify the procedure to be adopted in case of dispute or difference between the Tramway Com- pony and the Government or between the Tramway Com- pany and any other person.

By section 5 a re-arrangement of the conditions under which the Tramway service for workmen as hitherto fixed by section 49 of the old Ordinance is effected and it is thought that the new arrangement will be more satisfactory than the former one both to the public affected and the Company itself.
