Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is to substitute for section 121 of Ordinance No. 1 of 1903,—a section which dealt with rules relating to soffits and the tread and rise of staircases a new section in which further rules, making for safety in cases of fire, are laid down for the construction of future stairways; and also to restore the Medical Officer of Health to his former position as a member of the Sanitary Board in place of the Director of Medical and Sani- tary Services who was appointed ex-officio to the Board last year the better to enable him to make a study of its workings.
