A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend the Public

Health Ordinance, 1887.

BE it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Public Health Short title. Amendment Ordinance, 1899.

2. Section 70 of Ordinance 24 of 1887 is hereby amended Amendment by the substitution of the words "one week" in place of of s. 70 of the words "one calendar month" in the first paragraph of Ord. 24 of that section..

Objects and Reasons.

The reason for the amendment in the law which is embodied in this Bill is that it was found in practice by the Sanitary Board that frequently, on the expiration of the one.calendar month's notice of overcrowding, the tenant upon whom such notice had been served had left the pre- mises and a new tenant had taken his place, and that con- sequently no prosecution could be instituted under section 70. It is hoped that the shortening of the notice of over- erowding to one week will remove the above difficulty.

HENRY E. POLLOCK,

Acting Attorney General.
