Early this month, the Urban Council un- animously supported Dr. Selwyn-Clarke, the Hon. Director of Medical Services, in his desire to introduce legislation affecting spitting.

As a result, the Urban Council recommended to Government Section 3 of the Summary Offence Ordinance, 1932, be amended to read as follows:
