Housing Law Changes

Proposed Legislation To Amend Eviction Ordinance

Several alterations to the Prevention of Evictions Ordinance have been made in an amending bill which is to come up for Its first rending at the meeting of the Legislative Counell this after-

noon.

The Bill, which is cited as the Prevention of Eviction Consolidation and Amendment Ordinance, repeals former legisla. tton on the subject, and is the result of the recommendations made by a Committee of two officials and five Unofficial members of the Legislative Council, who considered the legislation in accordance with the Government nssurance given when the original Bill was passed.

The main features of the amendments are that landlords ean gain possession of their premises for reconstruction purposes and when a mortgagee desires to sell.

BISMAG (Bisurated Magnesia") is the unfailing treatment for the relief of stomach troubles.

It also spreads a protecting f6lm over the inflamed stomach lining and thus allows digestion to proceed without pain until the cure is! complete.
