LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, the case of Chinase compatice it

#1(0 intenuwl from pg. 1): theeo regulations would not of course interfere with any of these signals of distress that they had heard so much of in connection with various marine disasters. Baotion seven gave power to the governor to grant licences for experimental purposes. He be- lieved that there was an experi- mental station at the east end of the island. Sealion eight was the penalty clause and section nine ropealed the present or dinances.

The hill was read a second time and the Council then went into dommittee on the ordinance.

The Hon. Mr Landale naked in connection with clause three whether there was power authorise installations on ships registered elsewhere.

was not possible to know whether an auditor was a shareholder or not.

The Hon Mr. Hewett said that they did not consider that it made for good auditing if the auditor should be a shareholder. Therefore they thought if there was only one auditor he should not be a shareholder, and if there were two, one of these should not be a shareholder. He under stood the proposal to cut out the clause had only been passed by a narrow majority at a surprise meeting of what wAS called the Anditor's Association It was a snatch vote and some of the auditors in the colony were opposed to it.

.

H.E. the Governor-It might be argued that the very best and- totor abould be a ebareholder. I don't think you can do moob better than follow the lead of England.

The Hon Attorney General "replied that with regard to that he took it that the olause was inserted specifically, because other ships that were registered olee where would have to receive the licence from their port of regis- tration.

H. E. Major General Anderson: -If it were a German ship?

The Attorney General:-If it were a Germau ship we should have no power to isaus a license.

His Excellency-Otlier ships will have to get their licence from the port of registry.
