No. 23/1940.

APPROACHES TO HONG KONG-EAST LAMMA CHANNEL.

   On and after 3rd February, 1940, a Controlled Minefield will exist in the East Lamma Channel, and passage is prohibited whenever the Signals displayed in Admiralty Notice to Mariners No. 1 of 1939, paragraph 2, are displayed.

These signals, consisting of three Red Balls by Day and three Red Lights by Night, will be hoisted by the Port War Signal Stations at MOUNT DAVIS and BLUFF POINT (TAITAM PENINSULAR), and will be repeated by Patrol Craft in the vicinity, but Mariners are warned that Patrol craft may not always be on duty.

These signals, when displayed at BLUFF POINT, concern ships arriving, and when displayed at MOUNT DAVIS, concern ships departing. When displayed at BLUFF POINT, no vessel is to proceed North of the line joining UN KOK (LAMMA) to BLUFF POINT. When displayed at MOUNT DAVIS, no vessel is to proceed East of the line joining MOUNT DAVIS Port War Signal Station and PA KOK (LAMMA).

   Ships departing by the SULPHUR and EAST LAMMA Channels are to keep about 3 cables from SHEKTONGTSUI POINT and ensure that their Departure Signals are clearly visible both to the Port War Signal Station at MOUNT DAVIS and the Detaining Battery. Ships arriving are to close BLUFF POINT so that they can be recognized by the Port War Signal Station.

Great caution is necessary when approaching in thick weather, and unless Mariners can clearly see that the "Port Closed" signals are not hoisted at BLUFF POINT Port War Signal Station, they should assume that the Port is closed and keep well clear of the East Lamma Channel.

The above instructions will apply to any ocean going steamers which are directed to use the East Lamma Channel.

No. 24/1940.

APPROACHES TO HONG KONG-EAST LAMMA CHANNEL.

USE OF EAST LAMMA CHANNEL BY SMALL CRAFT CONSTRUCTED OF IRON

OR STEEL OR WOODEN CRAFT LOADED WITH IRON OR STEEL.

  On and after Saturday, 3rd February, 1940, small craft constructed of iron and steel, or wooden craft loaded with iron and steel, are prohibited from using the East Lamma Channel when the "Port Closed" Signals (3 Red Balls) are hoisted at either MOUNT DAVIS or BLUFF POINT Port War Signal Stations.

  When departing, they are not to cross the line joining MOUNT DAVIS and PA KOK (LAMMA) until the "Port Closed" signals have been lowered at MOUNT DAVIS. When arriving, they are not to cross the line joining UN KOK (LAMMA) and BLUFF POINT, until the "Port Closed" signals have been lowered at BLUFF POINT.

  Under no circumstances are these craft to use the East Lamma Channel during dark hours and they are not to cross the lines given above later than 30 minutes before sunset, nor earlier than sunrise.

In thick weather they are particularly warned not to attempt to enter the East Lamma Channel unless they can clearly see that the "Port Closed" Signals have been lowered at the Port War Signal Stations.

These craft may proceed to or from ABERDEEN Harbour between Sunrise and Sunset, regardless of "Port Closed" Signals but are not to proceed South of Aberdeen Harbour. After passing about 3 cables clear of SHEKTONGTSUI, they are to keep close inshore and pass to the Northward of CHU KWU WAN (Magazine Island) and APLICHAU (Aberdeen Island).

No. 25/1940.

APPROACHES TO HONG KONG-EAST LAMMA CHANNEL.

River Steamers and small craft using the East Lamma Channel are to follow the instructions contained in Notice to Mariners No. 23/1940 of the 22nd January, 1940; except that they are not required to display Departure Signals. If they cannot make BLUFF POINT and see the Port War Signal Station clearly, they may take shelter in TAITAM BAY if desired, but are on no account to attempt to enter the East Lamma Channel without specific orders from the Naval Authorities.

On occasion when the Mount Davis Port War Signal Station is obscured by fog or mist, but the East Lamma Channel is clear enough for normal navigation, arrangements will be made if possible to permit River Steamers to depart. Under these circumstances they will be given special permission by the Extended Defence Officer, through the Detaining Officer, to leave at a specific time. This time is to be the time at which they will pass through the Sulphur Channel. They are then to pass close to SHEKTONG- TSUI POINT.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Draft Bill.

No. S. 67. The following Bill is published for general information :--

[No. 17/39-25.1.40.-2.]

A BILL

Short title.

Amendments of Ordinance No. 10 of 1899, s. 22 (6).

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Merchant Shipping Ordinance,

1899.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Merchant Ship- ping Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (6) of section 22 of the Merchant Ship- ping Ordinance, 1899, is amended:-

(a) by the repeal of the words "shall be liable to a fine. not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars in the four- teenth and fifteenth lines thereof and by the substitution therefor of the words "shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars and to imprisonment for any term not exceeding six months "

(b) by the addition of the following paragraph at the end thereof :-

If the intended voyage is to any port in China which has not been opened at any time to foreign trade the Harbour Master may, at his absolute discretion, refuse to furnish a port clearance.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Article XLVII of the Treaty of Tientsin (1858) pro- vided that " British merchant vessels are not entitled to resort to other than the Ports of Trade declared open by this Treaty. They are not unlawfully to enter other Ports in China or to carry on clandestine Trade along the coast thereof. Any vessel violating this provision shall, with her cargo, be subject to confiscation by the Chinese Government "

2. Various ports were opened to foreign trade by that Treaty, some had been opened before by the Treaty of Nan- king, and others have been opened since.

}

119

3. The Treaty provisions do not appear to have been implemented by specific provisions in the Merchant Shipping Act or Ordinance, possibly because the liability to confisca- tion by the Chinese Government was in itself considered a sufficient deterrent.

4. Now however that the movements of the Chinese Customs preventive service are restricted by hostilities in the waters of the coast of China near the Colony the amendments to section 22 (6) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, seem called for if the Treaty provisions are to be made effective.

5. By Article XXVI of the Royal Instructions, Bills relating to Treaty obligations or affecting Trade or shipping require either a clause suspending their operation until the signification of the Royal pleasure thereon or prior submission of the Bill for Royal instructions through the Secretary of State. The latter alternative was adopted in this case and His Majesty's instructions for the introduction of the Bill to the Legislative Council have been received.

The commencement of the exercise will be indicated by the sounding of the Air Raid Warning Signal, namely-a fluctuating blast from electric syrens extending over a period of three minutes, followed by the extinction of all lighting.

Harbour and Shipping:

 From sunset up to the sounding of the air raid warning syren, lights may be kept lighted provided that effective provisions have previously been made for the extinguish- ment or screening of all lights, so that all such lights can be extinguished or screened within a period of three minutes.

On the sounding of the air raid warning syren, all lights, including Navigation Lights, must be extinguished or obscured.

 Vessels under-way, when the air raid warning signal is sounded, should proceed to the nearest safe anchorage or make fast to a pier.

 Normal lighting may be resumed on the sounding of the "raiders passed" signal indicated by a steady blast from electric syrens extending over a period of three minutes.

 For the purpose of the exercise, the port will be closed between the hours of 1900 and 2100, and the above lighting restrictions imposed on shipping are subject to any instructions which may be issued by the Naval or Harbour Authorities.

(2) On the application of any person who proposes to deal in the course of trade in Hong Kong with an article or substance which is or is intended to be the same as, or equivalent to or a substitute for, the article or substance in respect of which the trade mark is registered, the Registrar may order that the right to the use of the trade mark given by the registration thereof shall be suspended-

(b) to such extent and for such period as the Registrar may consider necessary for enabling the applicant to render well-known and established some description of, or means of reference to, the article or substance with which he proposes to deal in the course of trade, being a description or means of reference which does not involve the use of the trade mark.

(3) Where an order has been made under the last fore- going sub-section, no action for passing off shall lie on the part of any person interested in the trade mark in respect of any use thereof which, by virtue of the order, is not an infringement of the right to the use thereof given by the registration thereof.

(3) No act requisite for enabling such a registration as aforesaid to be effected, in so far as it is done for that purpose and for that purpose only, shall, whether the registration is effected or not, be treated as a contravention of any of the provisions of section 4 of the Trading with the Enemy Ordin- ance, 1914, or of any rule of law relating to intercourse or dealings with or for the benefit of enemies.

(4) References in this section to an application of an enemy shall be construed as including references to an application of an enemy jointly with any other person, whether an enemy or not.

(a) that the doing of the act within the time so limited was prevented by a person's being on active service or by 2 & 3 Geo. 6, any other circumstances arising from the existence of a state of war which, in the opinion of the Registrar, justify an extension of the time so limited; or

(b) that, by reason of circumstances arising from the existence of a state of war, the doing of the act within the time so limited would have been or would be injurious to the rights or interests of the person by or on whose behalf the act is or was to be done or to the public interest.

(3) The powers conferred by this section may be exer- cised notwithstanding that the exercise thereof benefits, whether directly or indirectly, an enemy or an enemy subject.

7.

3. Provision is made in clause 4 to enable an enemy to file an application for registration of a trade mark but no certificate will be issued until the conclusion of the war.

4. Power is given to the Chief Justice to make rules and prescribe fees with the approval and concurrence of the Legislative Council.

5. The provisions of the Patents, Designs, Copyright and Trade Marks (Emergency) Act, 1939, have been followed closely, but references to patents, designs and copyright have been omitted for the following reasons:-

4. The only variation occurs in the first sentence of clause 3 where the words "by order notified in the Gazette under the hand of the Colonial Secretary" are substituted for the words in the model draft "by order published in the Gazette "

A BILL

INTITULED

[No. 17/39-25.1.40.-2.]

An Ordinance to amend the Merchant Shipping Ordinance,

1899.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Merchant Ship- Short title. ping Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (6) of section 22 of the Merchant Ship- Amendments ping Ordinance, 1899, is amended:

of Ordinance No. 10 of 1899, s. 22

(a) by the repeal of the words "shall be liable to a fine (6). not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars. in the four- teenth and fifteenth lines thereof and by the substitution therefor of the words "shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars and to imprisonment for any term not exceeding six months "

196

(b) by the addition of the following paragraph at the end thereof :

If the intended voyage is to any port in China which has not been opened at any time to foreign trade the Harbour Master may, at his absolute discretion, refuse to furnish a port clearance.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Article XLVII of the Treaty of Tientsin (1858) pro- vided that "British merchant vessels are not entitled to resort to other than the Ports of Trade declared open by this Treaty. They are not unlawfully to enter other Ports in China or to carry on clandestine Trade along the coast thereof. Any vessel violating this provision shall, with her cargo, be subject to confiscation by the Chinese Government ".

2. Various ports were opened to foreign trade by that Treaty, some had been opened before by the Treaty of Nan- king, and others have been opened since.

3. The Treaty provisions do not appear to have been implemented by specific provisions in the Merchant Shipping Act or Ordinance, possibly because the liability to confisca- tion by the Chinese Government was in itself considered a sufficient deterrent.

4. Now however that the movements of the Chinese Customs preventive service are restricted by hostilities in the waters of the coast of China near the Colony the amendments to section 22 (6) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, seem called for if the Treaty provisions are to be made effective.

5. By Article XXVI of the Royal Instructions, Bills relating to Treaty obligations or affecting Trade or shipping require either a clause suspending their operation until the signification of the Royal pleasure thereon or prior submission of the Bill for Royal instructions through the Secretary of State. The latter alternative was adopted in this case and His Majesty's instructions for the introduction of the Bill to the Legislative Council have been received.

(3) Where an order has been made under the last fore- going sub-section, no action for passing off shall lie on the part of any person interested in the trade mark in respect of any use thereof which, by virtue of the order, is not an infringement of the right to the use thereof given by the registration thereof.

(b) that, by reason of circumstances arising from the existence of a state of war, the doing of the act within the time so limited would have been or would be injurious to the rights or interests of the person by or on whose behalf the act is or was to be done or to the public interest.

(2) An extension under this section of the time for doing any act-

(a) may be for any period that the Registrar thinks fit, notwithstanding that by or under any Ordinance power is conferred to extend the time for doing that act for a specified period only; and

(a) the fact that the address of any person registered in the register of trade marks kept under the Trade Marks Ordinance, 1909, is an address in enemy territory within the meaning of the Trading with the Enemy Ordinance, 1914, shall be primâ facie evidence that that person is resident in that territory; and

(b) the fact that in any such register a person is stated to be of a particular nationality shall be prima facie evidence that he is of that nationality.

(2) No order made by the Registrar under this Ordin- ance shall be held to be invalid by reason only that any decision made for the purposes of the order that a particular person is an enemy or an enemy subject is wrong.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this bill is to suspend the trade mark rights in Hong Kong of an enemy or an enemy subject where it is difficult or impracticable to describe an article or sub- stance without the use of such trade mark.

2. The effect of the bill is to enable persons desiring to trade in products formerly protected by trade marks registered in the names of enemies and enemy subjects to obtain a licence suspending the rights of such enemies and enemy subjects for such period as will enable the new product to become known on the local market.

3. Provision is made in clause 4 to enable an enemy to file an application for registration of a trade mark but no certificate will be issued until the conclusion of the war.

4. Power is given to the Chief Justice to make rules and prescribe fees with the approval and concurrence of the Legislative Council.

5. The provisions of the Patents, Designs, Copyright and Trade Marks (Emergency) Act, 1939, have been followed closely, but references to patents, designs and copyright have been omitted for the following reasons:--

(1) only patents already registered in the United King- dom can be registered in this Colony;

(2) there is no register of designs in Hong Kong;

(3) the Imperial Copyright Act, 1911, is applicable to this Colony.

Objects and Reasons.

1. In Chapter III, 1, of their Report (Sessional Paper No. 1 of 1940) the War Revenue Committee recommended that the Government should proceed with measures on the lines of a War Revenue Bill included as an Appendix to the Report.

2. A Resolution of the Legislative Council endorsing that recommendation was passed at the Council's meeting of the 7th March, 1940.

3. Since the Report was published certain suggestions of slight verbal alterations, chiefly of a clarifying nature, have been considered. In so far as these suggestions have been approved they have been embodied in the Bill now presented. They are set out in the Table of Variation attached.

Objects and Reasons.

1. In Chapter III, 1, of their Report (Sessional Paper No. 1 of 1940) the War Revenue Committee recommended that the Government should proceed with measures on the lines of a War Revenue Bill included as an Appendix to the Report.

2. A Resolution of the Legislative Council endorsing that recommendation was passed at the Council's meeting of the 7th March, 1940.

3. Since the Report was published certain suggestions of slight verbal alterations, chiefly of a clarifying nature, have been considered. In so far as these suggestions have been approved they have been embodied in the Bill now presented. They are set out in the Table of Variation attached.

other rights.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The terms of the concession granted to the Hong Kong Telephone Company Limited are contained in the Telephone Ordinance, No. 9 of 1925, as amended by the Telephone Amendment Ordinances, No. 9 of 1930 and No. 27 of 1933.

2. Under these Ordinances the company's dividend was restricted to 12 per cent. plus half of profits up to a further 6 per cent. the other half going to reduce subscription rates and in no case was the dividend payable to shareholders to exceed 15 per cent. (See Ordinance No. 9 of 1925, s. 36). Thus one half of the profits betweeen 12 per cent. and 18 per cent, and all profits above 18 per cent. was to be devoted to reducing the rates payable by the subscribers.

3. The Company's directors have argued, in discussions with the Government's Financial Advisers during recent months, that the absolute limit of a 15 per cent. dividend is inequitable because the high rate of profits which the Company has been able to earn has been due largely to its efficiency and partly to the profits on the line to Canton which was not in existence when the original arrangement was made.

4. A reasonable objection to an absolute maximum is that it gives the company no incentive to earn profits by greater efficiency and economy after that maximum reached.

5. Moreover the existing subscription rates are regarded as reasonably low and further contribution to the public. revenue by way of royalty and a contribution of certain free lines for Government purposes has been considered a reason- able basis for settlement in existing circumstances.

6. The proposed amendments are shown in greater detail in the attached Table of Correspondence.

7. The Bill is to be introduced as a Government measure: but its terms have been agreed to by the directors of the company.

(1) In payment of a dividend on the paid-up capital for the time being of the Company which (save as in the next sub-section provided) shall not exceed twelve per cent. per annum.

(2) If the net profits be such that a larger dividend than twelve per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital for the time being of the Company could be paid, the sum representing an amount not exceeding a further six per cent, per annum upon the paid-up capital for the time being of the Com- pany shall be paid as to one-half thereof by way of increase of divi- dends to the shareholders of the Company and as to the balance thereof be set aside for the benefit of subscribers by way of reduction of the rates set out in the Schedule, or in such revised rates as are herein- after provided for, and any further profits in excess of the said further six per cent. per annum shall be applied by the Company solely for the reduction of the rates payable by subscribers; so that the maximum dividend payable to the shareholders shall under no circumstances what- ever exceed fifteen per cent. per ammun upon such paid-up capital as aforesaid.

(3) The rate of dividend shall not be increased by the payment of any bonus or by any other colourable means of increasing the dividend, nor shall any other shares or class of shares bearing or capable of bearing a higher rate of interest be sub- stituted".

(4) Any dispute which may arise. under section 35 or under this section as to the amount of the net profits of the Company or as to their dis- posal or division or as.to their proper application for the reduction of rates payable by subscribers shall be ferred to arbitration under the provi- sions of section 49.

Saving of rights of

rown and certain other rights.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The terms of the concession granted to the Hong Kong Telephone Company Limited are contained in the Telephone Ordinance, No. 9 of 1925, as amended by the Telephone Amendment Ordinances, No. 9 of 1930 and No. 27 of 1933.

2. Under these Ordinances the company's dividend was restricted to 12 per cent. plus half of profits up to a further 6 per cent. the other half going to reduce subscription rates and in no case was the dividend payable to shareholders to exceed 15 per cent. (See Ordinance No. 9 of 1925, s. 36). Thus one half of the profits betweeen 12 per cent. and 18 per cent. and all profits above 18 per cent. was to be devoted to reducing the rates payable by the subscribers.

3. The Company's directors have argued, in discussions. with the Government's Financial Advisers during recent months, that the absolute limit of a 15 per cent. dividend is inequitable because the high rate of profits which the Company has been able to earn has been due largely to its efficiency and partly to the profits on the line to Canton which was not in existence when the original arrangement was made.

4. A reasonable objection to an absolute maximum is that it gives the company no incentive to earn profits by greater efficiency and economy after that maximum is reached.

5. Moreover the existing subscription rates are regarded as reasonably low and further contribution to the public revenue by way of royalty and a contribution of certain free lines for Government purposes has been considered a reason- able basis for settlement in existing circumstances.

6. The proposed amendments are shown in greater detail in the attached Table of Correspondence.

7. The Bill is to be introduced as a Government measure; but its terms have been agreed to by the directors of the

company.

The net profits of the Company as defined in section 35 shall be dealt with in the following manner namely:

(1) In payment of a dividend on the paid-up capital for the time being of the Company which (save as in the next sub-section provided) shall not exceed twelve per cent. per annum.

(2) If the net profits be such that a larger dividend than twelve per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital for the time being of the Company could be paid, the sum representing an amount not exceeding a further six per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital for the time being of the Com- pany shall be paid as to one-half thereof by way of increase of divi- dends to the shareholders of the Company and as to the balance thereof be set aside for the benefit of subscribers by way of reduction of the rates set out in the Schedule, or in such revised rates as are herein- after provided for, and any further profits in excess of the said further six per cent. per annum shall be applied by the Company solely for the reduction of the rates payable by subscribers, so that the maximum dividend payable to the shareholders shall under no circumstances what- ever exceed fifteen per cent. per annum upon such paid-up capital as aforesaid.

(3) The rate of dividend shall not be increased by the payment of any bonus or by any other colourable means of increasing the dividend, nor shall any other shares or class of shares bearing or capable of bearing a higher rate of interest be sub- stituted".

(4) Any dispute which may arise under section 35 or under this section as to the amount of the net profits of the Company or as to their dis- posal or division or as to their proper application for the reduction of rates payable by subscribers shall be re- ferred to arbitration under the provi- sions of section 49.

The repeal of the final paragraph of section 37 is necessitated by the new provisions of section 36. The repealed paragraph stated-

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

No. S. 152.-The following is published for general information.

REPORT

of

The members of the Standing Law Committee of the Legislative Council on the

War Revenue Bill, 1940.

The members of the Standing Law Committee have con- sidered the Bill and various amendments suggested to them by the Legal Sub-Committee of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce and by others who have made a close study of the provisions of the Bill.

As a result of this consideration they recommend the amendments set out in the appendix to this Report.

In clause 2 of the Bill-

(a) In the definition of " owner

(iii) substitute "

,,

and" in the first line;

means "for" includes" in the second

and/or " for "and" in the second line.

The object of these amendments is to make provision for those cases where the land and the improvements thereon are separately owned.

,,

(b) After the definition of "profits add the following

definition :-

CC

profits made from transactions in the Colony" means the whole profits except such portion thereof as is properly attributable to the transactions of an office situated outside the Colony".

1 ༤

357

It is considered that the references in Chapter IV of the Bill to corporation, trade, profession or business profits made from transactions in the Colony" needs a clarifying definition in clause 2.

line.

CC

In clause 6 of the Bill-

delete the word

normally" at the end of the second

It is considered that this amendment will make the mean- ing clearer.

In clause 9 of the Bill--

add the words "leave pay," after "salary line of sub-section (1) (i).

""

in the first

This will make it clearer that "leave pay" is to be treated as of the same nature as a "salary".

In clause 11 of the Bill-

add the following paragraph at the end of sub-section (1) :

"(iv) in the case of a married woman no allowance shall be made for a child in respect of whom such allowance has been made in favour of her husband".

This will prevent the allowance being claimed twice in respect of the same child.

In clause 16 of the Bill--

add the words "for the purpose of producing the profits" after the words "(e) interest paid or payable" at the end of the clause.

It is considered that this addition will make the meaning clearer.

In clause 21 of the Bill---

substitute the words "the manager or' for the second word "any" in the third line of sub-section (3).

This will make the sub-section conform with the previous paragraph.

In clause 25 of the Bill-

(i) delete the words "the amount of" in the third line; (ii) delete the word "owned" in the last line.

It is considered that these amendments will make the meaning clearer.

In clause 40 of the Bill-

substitute "a quorum shall consist of three members for "a quorum shall consist of two members" in the fifth line of sub-clause (4).

It is considered that a quorum should consist of more than two to cover cases where the chairman has a second or casting vote.

Incidence of taxes under this Ordinance.

358

In clause 44 of the Bill---

add the following sub-section----

(7) Appeals from decisions of the Supreme Court under this section shall be governed by the provisions of the Supreme Court Ordinance, 1873, the Code of Civil Procedure, the Full Court Ordinance, 1933, and the Orders and Rules governing appeals to the Privy Council.

This is to remove doubts which have arisen from the language of the first part of the section which seemed too

restrictive.

In clause 60 of the Bill--

renumber this clause as 61 and insert the following new clause as clause 60:-

60. Taxes under this Ordinance shall, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance and notwithstanding anything contained in any other written law or in any convention grant or agreement, be charged at the rates specified in Chapters II, III and IV for the year of assessment commencing on the first day of April, 1940, and for each subsequent year of assessment in respect of the property, income and profits of every person for the year preceding the year of assessment, but without prejudice to any provisions of this Ordinance which enact that tax is to be charged in particular cases in respect of property, income and profits for a period other than the year preceding the year of assessment.

The object of this new clause is to remove doubts which have arisen as to the incidence and starting date of all four taxes under the Bill.

A BILL

Short title.

New paragraph 3 (1A) for Ordinance

No. 40 of 1932.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Summary Offences Ordinance,

1932.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Summary Offences Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 3 of the Summary Offences Ordinance, 1932, is amended by the insertion immediately after paragraph (1) thereof of the following paragraph-

(1A) in or into a public place or vehicle or any building to which the public have access, spits except into a receptacle or channel for sewage, sullage or waste water;

Objects and Reasons.

1. Clause 2 of this bill adds to section 3 of the principal Ordinance a paragraph including indiscriminate spitting in public places, vehicles and buildings in the category of nuisances punishable on summary conviction by fine or imprisonment.

2. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a serious menace to health and life in Hong Kong and indiscriminate spitting, a habit unfortunately prevalent among certain classes in this Colony, is an important factor in spreading the disease. The present measure extends to public places the prohibition against indis- criminate spitting now enforced, in dairies, milk shops, eating houses, restaurants, food factories, food shops, markets, slaughter-houses and laundries, by by-laws made by the Urban Council. It is recommended by the Urban Council as neces- sary in the interests of public health and supported by the District Watch Committee and by a large body of public opinion in this Colony.

3. The gradual enforcement of the provision introduced by this bill is regarded by the local health authorities as urgently necessary if the spread of tuberculosis is to be checked.

Signification of orders, etc., of the Governor.

Addition of new section to follow s. 45 of

Ordinance

No. 31 of

1911.

Power of Governor to delegate authority.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Interpretation Ordinance, 1911.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Interpretation Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 45 of the Interpretation Ordinance, 1911, is hereby repealed and replaced as follows:-

45. Where under any Ordinance the Governor is given power to make any appointment, give any directions, issue any order, authorize any thing or matter to be done, grant any exemption, remit any fee or penalty, or exercise any other power, it shall be sufficient if the exercise of such power by the Governor be signified under the hand of the Colonial Secretary or of the Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary :

Provided always that the foregoing provision shall not apply to the power of the Governor to make any rules, or issue any warrants or proclamations which shall be made or issued only under the hand of the Governor himself.

3. The following new section shall be inserted in the Interpretation Ordinance, 1911, to follow section 45 there-

of:

45A. When by any Ordinance the Governor is empowered to exercise any powers or perform any duties, he may, unless by law expressly prohibited from so doing, depute any person by name or the person for the time being holding the office designated by him to exercise such powers or perform such duties on his behalf, subject to such conditions, exceptions and qualifications as the Governor may prescribe, and there- upon or from the date specified by the Governor the person so deputed shall have and exercise such powers and perform such duties subject as aforesaid :

Provided that, subject to the provisions of any Royal Instructions relating to the appointment of a Deputy to the Governor, nothing herein contained shall authorize the Governor to depute any person to make rules, issue warrants or proclamations or to hear any appeal.

.

381

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 45 of the principal Ordinance permits orders of the Governor to be signified under the hand of the Colonial Secretary or the Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary. Clause 2 of this Bill, which replaces section 45, is somewhat wider in its scope, extending the permission to signify to such matters as the grant of exemptions, the remittance of fees and the exercise of any other power whatsoever. Clause 2 is identical with section 10 of the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinances, Cap. 87 of the 1935 Revised Edition (amended by Ordinance No. 21 of 1938) of the Laws of the Uganda Protectorate, except that the words "Colonial Secretary and Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary" are substituted for the words "Chief Secretary to the Government" and

and "Deputy Chief Secretary" respectively.

CC

2. Clause 3 of the Bill which is taken from section 14 of the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance, Cap. 87 of the 1935 Revised Edition (as amended by Ordinance No. 21 of 1938) of the Laws of the Uganda Protectorate, gives the Governor power to delegate authority to the holders of various offices. This power is very desirable in order to avoid the unnecessary delay and trouble involved in forwarding documents for the perusal and signature of the Governor where the matters in question are of a routine nature, easily determinable by the head of a department. This power to delegate is practically universal in the Colonies.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Fire Investiga- Short title. tion Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 2 of the Fire Investigation Ordinance, 1895, is amended by the repeal of the words " either personally or by some officer of police of grade not lower than inspector and by the substitution therefor of the words "by the police officer in charge of the district or by such police officer as shall be deputed by the Superintendent in charge of the Division".

3. Section 4 of the Fire Investigation Ordinance, 1895, of Ordinance is amended by the insertion of the words "or the police officer in charge of the district or such police officer as shall be deputed by the Superintendent in charge of the Division" after the words "rank of inspector ".

1895, s. 4.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of the Fire Investigation Ordinance, 1895, requires, inter alia, the Commissioner of Police to make or cause to be made a full and minute inspection and a detailed report of premises where a fire has taken place or where attempted arson is suspected and it requires that he shall do this "either personally or by some officer of police of grade not lower than inspector ".

2. The growth of the Colony and of the Police Force since 1895 as well as the establishment of police stations in outlying districts has rendered it necessary and convenient for the inspections and reports to be made by the police officer in charge of the districts concerned, some of whom have not reached the rank of inspector, or by some other officer deputed for the purpose by the Superintendent in charge of the Division.

3. Clause 2 of the Bill substitutes accordingly the words "by the police officer in charge of the district or by such police officer as shall be deputed by the Superintendent in charge of the Division ".

4. Similarly section 4 of the Ordinance which deals with subsequent magisterial investigations as to the causes of fires gives certain rights of audience to any police officer not below the rank of inspector". :

(C

5. In some cases it is more convenient and desirable to give the exercise of these rights of audience to the officer who had personally inspected the premises and made the report.

or

6. Clause 3 of the Bill adds accordingly the words the police officer in charge of the district or such police officer as shall be deputed by the Superintendent in charge of the Division" after the words

after the words "rank of inspector".

2. It is considered necessary to extend, for the duration of the War, the scope of the Ordinance to all tenements in the Colony except furnished dwellings let at a rent which includes payments in respect of board and residence.

3. The reason for this extension is to prevent landlords passing on to their tenants the War Taxes or anticipated War Taxes imposed on them under the War Revenue Ordinance, 1940.

In introducing the Bill for the latter Ordinance to the Legislative Council the Financial Secretary said "I am authorized to state that if any attempt is made generally to pass on the Property Tax to tenants Government is prepared to introduce such legislation as may be considered necessary to prevent this."

A BILL

Short title.

New paragraph 3 (1A) for Ordinance

No. 40 of 1932.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Summary Offences Ordinance,

1932.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Summary Offences Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 3 of the Summary Offences Ordinance, 1932, is amended by the insertion immediately after paragraph (1) thereof of the following paragraph-

(1A) in or into a public place or vehicle or any building to which the public have access, spits except into a receptacle or channel for sewage, sullage or waste water;

Objects and Reasons.

1. Clause 2 of this bill adds to section 3 of the principal Ordinance a paragraph including indiscriminate spitting in public places, vehicles and buildings in the category of nuisances punishable on summary conviction by fine or imprisonment.

2. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a serious menace to health and life in Hong Kong and indiscriminate spitting, a habit unfortunately prevalent among certain classes in this Colony, is an important factor in spreading the disease. The present measure extends to public places the prohibition against indis- criminate spitting now enforced, in dairies, milk shops, eating houses, restaurants, food factories, food shops, markets, slaughter-houses and laundries, by by-laws made by the Urban Council. It is recommended by the Urban Council as neces- sary in the interests of public health and supported by the District Watch Committee and by a large body of public opinion in this Colony.

3. The gradual enforcement of the provision introduced by this bill is regarded by the local health authorities as urgently necessary if the spread of tuberculosis is to be checked.

Governor.

45. Where under any Ordinance the Governor is given Signification power to make any appointment, give any directions, issue etc., of the any order, authorize any thing or matter to be done, grant any exemption, remit any fee or penalty, or exercise any other power, it shall be sufficient if the exercise of such power by the Governor be signified under the hand of the Colonial Secretary or of the Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary :

Provided always that the foregoing provision shall not apply to the power of the Governor to make any rules, or issue any warrants or proclamations which shall be made or issued only under the hand of the Governor himself.

3. The following new section shall be inserted in the Addition of Interpretation Ordinance, 1911, to follow section 45 there- of :-

to follow s. 45 of Ordinance No. 31 of 1911.

Governor

45A. When by any Ordinance the Governor is empowered Power of to exercise any powers or perform any duties, he may, unless to delegate by law expressly prohibited from so doing, depute any person authority. by name or the person for the time being holding the office designated by him to exercise such powers or perform such duties on his behalf, subject to such conditions, exceptions and qualifications as the Governor may prescribe, and there- upon or from the date specified by the Governor the person so deputed shall have and exercise such powers and perform such duties subject as aforesaid:

Provided that, subject to the provisions of any Royal Instructions relating to the appointment of a Deputy to the Governor, nothing herein contained shall authorize the Governor to depute any person to make rules, issue warrants or proclamations or to hear any appeal.

410

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 45 of the principal Ordinance permits orders of the Governor to be signified under the hand of the Colonial Secretary or the Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary. Clause 2 of this Bill, which replaces section 45, is somewhat wider in its scope, extending the permission to signify to such matters as the grant of exemptions, the remittance of fees and the exercise of any other power whatsoever. Clause 2 is identical with section 10 of the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinances, Cap. 87 of the 1935 Revised Edition (amended by Ordinance No. 21 of 1938) of the Laws of the Uganda Protectorate, except that the words Colonial Secretary" and " Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary

"C

""

are substituted for the words "Chief Secretary to the Government and Deputy Chief Secretary" respectively.

2. Clause 3 of the Bill which is taken from section 14 of the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance, Cap. 87 of the 1935 Revised Edition (as amended by Ordinance No. 21 of 1938) of the Laws of the Uganda Protectorate, gives the Governor power to delegate authority to the holders of various offices. This power is very desirable in order to avoid the unnecessary delay and trouble involved in forwarding documents for the perusal and signature of the Governor where the matters in question are of a routine nature, easily determinable by the head of a department. This power to delegate is practically universal in the Colonies.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Fire Investigation Ordinance,

1895.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Fire Investiga- tion Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 2 of the Fire Investigation Ordinance, 1895, of Ordinance is amended by the repeal of the words " either personally or

Section 4 of the Fire Investigation Ordinance, 1895, Amendment is amended by the insertion of the words "or the police of Ordinance officer in charge of the district or such police officer as shall 1895, s. 4. be deputed by the Superintendent in charge of the Division after the words "rank of inspector'

دو

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of the Fire Investigation Ordinance, 1895, requires, inter alia, the Commissioner of Police to make or cause to be made a full and minute inspection and a detailed report of premises where a fire has taken place or where attempted arson is suspected and it requires that he shall do this "either personally or by some officer of police of grade not lower than inspector "

2. The growth of the Colony and of the Police Force. since 1895 as well as the establishment of police stations in outlying districts has rendered it necessary and convenient for the inspections and reports to be made by the police officer in charge of the districts concerned, some of whom have not reached the rank of inspector, or by some other officer deputed for the purpose by the Superintendent in charge of the Division.

3. Clause 2 of the Bill substitutes accordingly the words by the police officer in charge of the district or by such police officer as shall be deputed by the Superintendent in charge of the Division ".

4. Similarly section 4 of the Ordinance which deals with subsequent magisterial investigations as to the causes of fires gives certain rights of audience to any police officer not below the rank of inspector

CC

5. In some cases it is more convenient and desirable to give the exercise of these rights of audience to the officer who had personally inspected the premises and made the report.

6. Clause 3 of the Bill adds accordingly the words "or the police officer in charge of the district or such police officer as shall be deputed by the Superintendent in charge of the Division" after the words rank of inspector".

2. It is considered necessary to extend, for the duration of the War, the scope of the Ordinance to all tenements in the Colony except furnished dwellings let at a rent which includes payments in respect of board and residence.

3. The reason for this extension is to prevent landlords passing on to their tenants the War Taxes or anticipated War Taxes imposed on them under the War Revenue Ordinance, 1940.

4. In introducing the Bill for the latter Ordinance to the Legislative Council the Financial Secretary said "I am authorized to state that if any attempt is made generally to pass on the Property Tax to tenants Government is prepared to introduce such legislation as may be considered necessary to prevent this."

An Ordinance to provide machinery for fixing minimum wages, determining normal working hours, and fixing overtime rates in trades where the wage standards are unreasonably low.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Trade Boards Ordinance, 1940.

2. (1) The Governor in Council may, at any time he thinks fit, by Government Notification published in the Gazette, fix minimum rates of wages for any trade in the Colony either generally or in any specified area or district in any case in which he is satisfied that the minimum rates of wages being paid to any persons employed in any such trade are unreasonably low.

Every Notification fixing minimum rates of wages may be varied from time to time or revoked.

(2) For the purpose of instituting, making, and conduct- ing any inquiry that may be deemed advisable in connexion with fixing any minimum rates of wages in any trade under this Ordinance, and for reporting thereon, the Governor may at any time establish for any trade, or for any branch of work in a trade, a Trade Board, consisting of members representing employers and members representing workers (in this Ordinance referred to as representative members) in equal proportions, and of appointed members, provided that the number of appointed members shall be less than half the total number of representative members.

Where a Trade Board has been established for any branch of work in a trade, any reference in this Ordinance to the trade for which the Board is established shall be con- strued as a reference to the branch of work in the trade for which the Board has been established.

(3) Women shall be eligible as members of Trade Boards as well as men.

(4) The Chairman of a Trade Board shall be the Labour Officer or such other public officer as the Governor may appoint.

549

(5) All members shall be appointed by the Governor, but the employers and workers may nominate representatives for appointment, subject to the Governor's approval, as representative members.

(6) In order to constitute a meeting of a Trade Board, 9 Edw. 7. c. at least one third of the whole number of the representative 22, s. 11 (6). members and at least one appointed member must be present.

(7) A Trade Board for any trade shall consider, as General occasion requires, any matter referred to them by the duties of Governor with reference to the industrial conditions of the Boards.

                                             Trade trade, and shall make a report upon the matter to the 9 Edw. 7. c. Governor.

9 Edw. 7. c.

(a) A general minimum rate of wages for piece-work (in this Ordinance referred to as a general minimum piece- 22. s. 4. rate");

(b) A minimum time-rate (which shall not be higher than the general minimum time-rate) to apply in the case of workers employed on piece-work for the purpose of securing to such workers a minimum rate of remuneration on a time- work basis (in this Ordinance referred to as "a guaranteed time-rate ");

(c) A minimum rate (whether a time-rate or a piece- rate) to apply, in substitution for the minimum rate which would otherwise be applicable, in respect of hours worked by a worker in any week or on any day in excess of the number of hours considered by the Trade Board to be the normal number of hours of work per week or for that day in the trade (in this Ordinance referred to as "an overtime rate"); Any of the minimum rates aforesaid may be fixed so as to apply universally to the trade or so as to apply to any special process in the work of the trade or to any special area, or to any class of workers in the trade, or to any class of workers in any special process or in any special area.

If a Trade Board report to the Governor that it is impracticable in any case to fix a general minimum time-rate in accordance with this section, the Governor may so far as respects that case relieve the Trade Board of their duty.

(3) Where an employer has been convicted for failing to pay wages at not less than the minimum rate to any worker then if notice of intention so to do has been served with the summons warrant or complaint evidence may be given of any failure on the part of the employer to pay wages at not less than the minimum rate to that worker at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date on which the information was laid or the complaint was served and on proof of the failure the court may order the employer to pay such sum as in the opinion of the court represents the difference between the amount which having regard to the provisions of this Ordinance ought properly to have been paid to the worker by way of wages during those years and the amount actually so paid.

(4) It shall be the duty of every employer in a trade to which a minimum rate is applicable, to keep such records of wages as are necessary to show that the provisions of this Ordinance are being complied with as respects persons in his employment, and if he fails to do so he shall be liable on summary conviction in respect of each offence to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars and also to a fine not exceeding twenty five dollars for every day during which the default continues after conviction.

(2) Where an employer who is charged with an offence. against this Ordinance proves to the satisfaction of the court that he has used due diligence to enforce the execution of the Ordinance and that the offence was in fact committed by his agent or some other person without his knowledge, consent, or connivance, he shall, in the event of the convic- tion of that agent or other person for the offence, be exempt from any fine in respect of the offence, without prejudice, however, to the power of the court under sub-sections (2) and (3) of section 5 to adjudge him to pay any sum which appears to the court to be due to the person employed on account of wages.

(3) Where the immediate employer of any worker to whom a minimum rate of wages applies is himself in the

employment of some other person and that worker is employed on the premises of that other person, that other person shall for the purposes of the provisions of this Ordin- ance relating to the penalty for not paying wages in accord- ance with the minimum rate be deemed to be the employer of the worker jointly with the immediate employer.

The Governor in Council may fix a piece-work basis time-rate in any case in which, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, he is of opinion that the general minimum time-rate does not form a proper basis for the purposes of paragraph (b) of sub-section (1) of this section, and a piece-work basis time-rate may be higher or lower than the general minimum time-rate and may be fixed so as to apply universally to the trade or so as to apply to any special process in the work of the trade or to any special area, or to any class of workers in the trade or to any class of workers in any special process or in any special area.

(c) at all reasonable times to enter any factory or work- shop or any place used for giving out work to outworkers;

(d) to inspect and copy any material part of any list of outworkers kept by an employer or person giving out work to outworkers; and

(e) to examine, either alone or in the presence of any other person, as he thinks fit, with respect to any matters under this Ordinance any person whom he finds in any factory or workshop or any place used for giving out work to outworkers, or whom he has reasonable cause to believe to be or to have been a worker in any trade to which a mininum rate under this Ordinance is applicable, and to require every such person to be so examined, and to sign a declaration of the truth of the matters in respect of which he is so examined.

(2) If any person fails to furnish the means required by an officer as necessary for any entry or inspection or the exercise of his powers under this section, or if any person hinders or molests any officer in the exercise of the powers given by this section, or refuses to produce any document or give any information which any officer requires him to produce or give under the powers given by this section, that person shall be liable on summary conviction in respect of each offence to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars; and, if any person makes, or causes to be made, or knowingly allows to be made any wages sheet, or record of wages, or record of payments, or any list of outworkers which is false in any material particular, or produces or causes to be produced, or knowingly allows to be produced any such sheet, record or list to any officer acting in the exercise of the powers given by this section, knowing the same to be false, or furnishes any information to any such officer knowing the same to be false, he shall be liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months.

Officer's consent to

prosecution

14. The Minimum Wage Ordinance, 1932, is repealed. Repeal of

Ordinance No. 28 of 1932.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The Minimum Wage Ordinance, 1932, made provi- sions for fixing minimum wages in occupations where the wages paid are unreasonably low. It has never been invoked.

2. It is a short and simple ordinance. It does not appear to envisage the fixing of any wage other than a minimum time rate, and it contains no reference to piece rates or hours of employment.

3. For the purpose of necessary inquiry and report it provides for the appointment of a Board of Commissioners consisting of five persons of whom one shall be a judge or magistrate who shall be Chairman of the Board.

4. No machinery is provided for enforcing the payment of any minimum wage fixed under the Ordinance.

5. The present Bill follows closely certain provisions of the Trade Boards Acts 1909 and 1918. Power to fix minimum wages remains with the Governor in Council, but a Trade Board on which employers and employees shall be equally represented together with members of the public is substituted for a Board of Commissioners as the machinery for inquiry and report in each case. In pursuance of the policy of encouraging the organization of responsible trade. unions it is considered desirable and feasible that representa- tives of workers should function as members of these Trade Boards and learn in practice the advantages of conciliation and arbitration.

6. Provision is made for the fixing of time rates, piece rates, and overtime rates. Payment by piece rates is common in local industries.

7. Following the Home Acts, adequate provision is made for the enforcement of approved minimum rates, but the Labour Officer's consent to prosecution is required.

S. This Bill has been prepared by the Labour Officer, Mr. H. R. Butters.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Under the existing law every application for a licence to erect any sky sign or similar advertisement has to be considered by the Governor in Council who is the licensing authority. It is undesirable that the Governor and members of Council should be troubled with the examination of the numerous points of detail arising out of such applications. Moreover the control of advertisements which in some cases affect injuriously the amenities of the locality is work eminently suitable for control by a body such as the Urban Council.

2. The amendments introduced by clauses 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Bill transfer from the Governor in Council to the Urban Council the power to issue licences and to make by-laws for the control of advertisements.

3. Clause 2 of this Bill, by providing for the inclusion. of the Public Health (Food) Ordinance, 1935, in section 6A (1) of the principal Ordinance, enables the Governor in Council to make rules for the maintenance of public health in relation to food in the New Territories.

[No. 31-11.4.40.-3.)

INTITULED.

An Ordinance to provide machinery for fixing minimum wages, determining normal working hours, and fixing overtime rates in trades where the wage standards are unreasonably low.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Trade Boards Ordinance, 1940.

2.-(1) The Governor in Council may, at any time he thinks fit, by Government Notification published in the Gazette, fix minimum rates of wages for any trade in the Colony either generally or in any specified area or district in any case in which he is satisfied that the minimum rates of wages being paid to any persons employed in any such trade are unreasonably low.

Every Notification fixing minimum rates of wages may be varied from time to time or revoked.

(2) For the purpose of instituting, making, and conduct- ing any inquiry that may be deemed advisable in connexion with fixing any minimum rates of wages in any trade under this Ordinance, and for reporting thereon, the Governor may at any time establish for any trade, or for any branch of work in a trade, a Trade Board, consisting of members representing employers and members representing workers (in this Ordinance referred to as representative members) in equal proportions, and of appointed members, provided that the number of appointed members shall be less than half the total number of representative members.

Where a Trade Board has been established for any branch of work in a trade, any reference in this Ordinance to the trade for which the Board is established shall be con- strued as a reference to the branch of work in the trade for which the Board has been established.

(3) Women shall be eligible as members of Trade Boards as well as men.

(4) The Chairman of a Trade Board shall be the Labour Officer or such other public officer as the Governor may

appoint.

:

579

(5) All members shall be appointed by the Governor, but the employers and workers may nominate representatives for appointment, subject to the Governor's approval, as representative members.

(6) In order to constitute a meeting of a Trade Board, 9 Edw. 7, c. at least one third of the whole number of the representative 22, s. 11 (6). members and at least one appointed member must be present.

(7) A Trade Board for any trade shall consider, as General occasion requires, any matter referred to them by the Governor with reference to the industrial conditions of the Boards. trade, and shall make a report upon the matter to the 9 Edw. 7, c. Governor.

minimum rates of

wages.

9 Edw. 7, c.

(a) A general minimum rate of wages for piece-work (in this Ordinance referred to as a general minimum piece- 22. s. 4. rate ");

(b) A minimum time-rate (which shall not be higher than the general minimum time-rate) to apply in the case of workers employed on piece-work for the purpose of securing to such workers a minimum rate of remuneration on a time- work basis (in this Ordinance referred to as a guaranteed time-rate "');

(c) A minimum rate (whether a time-rate or a piece- rate) to apply, in substitution for the minimum rate which would otherwise be applicable, in respect of hours worked by a worker in any week or on any day in excess of the number of hours considered by the Trade Board to be the normal number of hours of work per week or for that day in the trade (in this Ordinance referred to as "an overtime rate"); Any of the minimum rates aforesaid may be fixed so as to apply universally to the trade or so as to apply to any special process in the work of the trade or to any special area, or to any class of workers in the trade, or to any class of workers in any special process or in any special area.

If a Trade Board report to the Governor that it is impracticable in any case to fix a general minimum time-rate in accordance with this section, the Governor may so far as respects that case relieve the Trade Board of their duty.

adjudge the employer convicted to pay, in addition to any fine, such sum as appears to the court to be due to the person employed on account of wages, the wages being calculated on the basis of the minimum rate, but the power to order the payment of wages under this provision shall not be in derogation of any right of the person employed to recover wages by any other proceedings.

(3) Where an employer has been convicted for failing to pay wages at not less than the minimum rate to any worker then if notice of intention so to do has been served with the summons warrant or complaint evidence may be given of any failure on the part of the employer to pay wages at not less than the minimum rate to that worker at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date on which the information was laid or the complaint was served and on proof of the failure the court may order the employer to pay such sum as in the opinion of the court represents the difference between the amount which having regard to the provisions of this Ordinance ought properly to have been paid to the worker by way of wages during those years and the amount actually so paid.

(4) It shall be the duty of every employer in a trade to which a minimum rate is applicable, to keep such records of wages as are necessary to show that the provisions of this Ordinance are being complied with as respects persons in his employment, and if he fails to do so he shall be liable on summary conviction in respect of each offence to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars and also to a fine not exceeding twenty five dollars for every day during which the default continues after conviction.

On any prosecution of a person for failing to pay wages at not less than the minimum rate, it shall lie on that person to prove that he has not paid wages at less than the minimum

rate.

(5) Any agreement for the payment of wages in contra- vention of this provision shall be void.

liable.

(2) Where an employer who is charged with an offence against this Ordinance proves to the satisfaction of the court that he has used due diligence to enforce the execution of the Ordinance and that the offence was in fact committed by his agent or some other person without his knowledge, consent, or connivance, he shall, in the event of the convic- tion of that agent or other person for the offence, be exempt from any fine in respect of the offence, without prejudice, however, to the power of the court under sub-sections (2) and (3) of section 5 to adjudge him to pay any sum which appears to the court to be due to the person employed on account of wages.

(3) Where the immediate employer of any worker to whom a minimum rate of wages applies is himself in the

581

employment of some other person and that worker is employed on the premises of that other person, that other person shall for the purposes of the provisions of this Ordin- ance relating to the penalty for not paying wages in accord- ance with the minimum rate be deemed to be the employer of the worker jointly with the immediate employer.

(2) For the purpose of this section the expression "basis rate means the general minimum time-rate or, where a rate (in this Ordinance referred to as a 'piece-work basis time-rate") has been fixed by the Governor in Council for the purpose of being substituted for the general minimum time-rate as the basis rate, the rate so fixed.

The Governor in Council may fix a piece-work basis time-rate in any case in which, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, he is of opinion that the general minimum time-rate does not form a proper basis for the purposes of paragraph (b) of sub-section (1) of this section, and a piece-work basis time-rate may be higher or lower than the general minimum time-rate and may be fixed so as to apply universally to the trade or so as to apply to any special process in the work of the trade or to any special area, or to any class of workers in the trade or to any class of workers in any special process or in any special area.

8. Any shopkeeper, dealer or trader, who by way of trade makes any arrangement express or implied with any worker in pursuance of which the worker performs any work for which a minimum rate of wages has been fixed under this Ordinance, shall be deemed for the purposes of this Ordinance to be the employer of the worker, and the net remuneration obtainable by the worker in respect of the work after allowing for his necessary expenditure in connexion with the work shall be deemed to be wages.

(a) to require the production of wages sheets or other record of wages by an employer, and records of payments made to outworkers by persons giving out work and to inspect and examine the same and copy any material part thereof;

(b) to require any person giving out work and any out- worker to give any information which it is in his power to give with respect to the names and addresses of the persons to whom the work is given out or from whom the work is received, as the case may be, and with respect to the payments to be made for the work;

(c) at all reasonable times to enter any factory or work- shop or any place used for giving out work to outworkers;

(d) to inspect and copy any material part of any list of outworkers kept by an employer or person giving out work to outworkers; and

(e) to examine, either alone or in the presence of any other person, as he thinks fit, with respect to any matters under this Ordinance any person whom he finds in any factory or workshop or any place used for giving out work to outworkers, or whom he has reasonable cause to believe to be or to have been a worker in any trade to which a minimum rate under this Ordinance is applicable, and to require every such person to be so examined, and to sign a declaration of the truth of the matters in respect of which he is so examined.

(2) If any person fails to furnish the means required by an officer as necessary for any entry or inspection or the exercise of his powers under this section, or if any person hinders or molests any officer in the exercise of the powers given by this section, or refuses to produce any document or give any information which any officer requires him to produce or give under the powers given by this section, that person shall be liable on summary conviction in respect of each offence to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars; and, if any person makes, or causes to be made, or knowingly allows to be made any wages sheet, or record of wages, or record of payments, or any list of outworkers which is false in any material particular, or produces or

Ordinance No. 28 of 1932.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The Minimum Wage Ordinance, 1932, made provi- sions for fixing minimum wages in occupations where the wages paid are unreasonably low. It has never been invoked.

2. It is a short and simple ordinance.

                    It does not appear to envisage the fixing of any wage other than a minimum time rate, and it contains no reference to piece rates or hours of employment.

3. For the purpose of necessary inquiry and report it provides for the appointment of a Board of Commissioners consisting of five persons of whom one shall be a judge or magistrate who shall be Chairman of the Board.

of

4. No machinery is provided for enforcing the payment

minimum wage fixed under the Ordinance.

any

5. The present Bill follows closely certain provisions of the Trade Boards Acts 1909 and 1918. Power to fix minimum wages remains with the Governor in Council, but a Trade Board on which employers and employees shall be equally represented together with members of the public is substituted for a Board of Commissioners as the machinery for inquiry and report in each case. In pursuance of the policy of encouraging the organization of responsible trade unions it is considered desirable and feasible that representa- tives of workers should function as members of these Trade Boards and learn in practice the advantages of conciliation and arbitration.

6. Provision is made for the fixing of time rates, piece rates, and overtime rates. Payment by piece rates is common in local industries.

7. Following the Home Acts, adequate provision is made for the enforcement of approved minimum rates, but the Labour Officer's consent to prosecution is required.

8. This Bill has been prepared by the Labour Officer, Mr. H. R. Butters.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Under the existing law every application for a licence to erect any sky sign or similar advertisement has to be considered by the Governor in Council who is the licensing authority. It is undesirable that the Governor and members of Council should be troubled with the examination of the numerous points of detail arising out of such applications. Moreover the control of advertisements which in some cases. affect injuriously the amenities of the locality is work eminently suitable for control by a body such as the Urban Council.

2. The amendments introduced by clauses 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Bill transfer from the Governor in Council to the Urban Council the power to issue licences and to make by-laws for the control of advertisements.

3. The Chairman of the Urban Council replaces both the Director of Public Works and the Commissioner of Police as the authority to authorize the removal of advertisements which do not comply with the law.

4. The power of appeal granted under clause 6 is similar to that possessed by aggrieved persons under sections 84, 85 and 86 of the Public Health (Sanitation) Ordinance, No. 15 of 1935, and under sections 161, 162 and 163 of the Build- ings Ordinance, No. 18 of 1935. It is considered expedient to extend this right of appeal to the present Ordinance.

INTITULED

[No. 12-27.4.40.-1.]

An Ordinance to amend the New Territories Regulation

Ordinance, 1910.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the New Territories Regulation Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (1) of section 6A of the New Territories of Ordinance Regulation Ordinance, 1910, as amended by section 2 of the New Territories Regulation Amendment Ordinance, No. 18 of 1938, is further amended--

under in the

(b) by the insertion of the number "15" before the number "15" in the marginal note thereto.

:

Objects and Reasons.

It is considered that the time has now come for the manufacture and sale of food in the New Territories to be subject to some manner of control on the lines of that exer- cised by the Urban Council in Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Kowloon. It is not, however, practicable at present to apply in rural areas the same laws and regulations as apply to the urban areas.

2. Section 2 of Ordinance No. 18 of 1938. which replaced section 6A (1) of Ordinance No. 34 of 1910, empowered the Governor in Council to lay down for the New Territories simple general rules for the prevention of nuis- ances and for dealing with matters with regard to which the Urban Council had power to make by-laws under the Public Health (Sanitation) Ordinance, 1935, and the Buildings Ordinance, 1935.

3. Clause 2 of this Bill, by providing for the inclusion of the Public Health (Food) Ordinance, 1935, in section 6A (1) of the principal Ordinance, enables the Governor in Council to make rules for the maintenance of public health in relation to food in the New Territories.

(v) by the insertion of the words "or air" after the words naval or military" in section 6.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this amending Bill is to bring the Defences (Sketching Prevention) Ordinance up to date by applying it to air force premises as well as to naval or military premises, to His Majesty's aircraft as well as to His Majesty's ships, to the field of fire from batteries, to landing, firing, bombing or minefield areas as well as to anchorages and to give to commissioned or non-commissioned officers in the air forces the same powers of arrest as are given to the like officers in the naval or military forces.

[No. 16-28.5.40.-1.]

A BILL

Short title.

Amendment

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Immigration and Passports

Ordinance, 1934.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Immigration and Passports Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (3) of Section 11 of the Immigration and of Ordinance Passports Ordinance, 1934, is amended by the addition,

after the words "shall be paid

shall be paid" at the end thereof, of the

No. 8 of 1934,

s. 11 (3).

words-

"unless reciprocal arrangements exist with the country of which the holder is a national for dispensing with fees for permits of the same or similar effect ".

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 11 (3) of the principal Ordinance provides that the holder of a valid passport or travel document which bears an endorsement defining a limited period of stay in the Colony shall not remain in the Colony after the period has expired: Provided that the period of his stay may be extended with the consent of the Commissioner of Police for which consent the official signature fee of $5.00 shall be paid.

2. It may be argued that this ordinary Official Signature Fee is in effect the statutory fee for a temporary residential permit.

3. This Bill will add words at the end of the section which will waive the fee where reciprocal arrangements exist with the country of which the holder of the passport or travel document is a national for dispensing with fees for permits of the same or similar effect.

June, 1940.

631

[No. 17:-3.6.40.-1.]

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the War Revenue Ordinance, 1940.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the War Revenue Short title. Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 60 of the War Revenue Ordinance, 1940, is Amendment amended by the repeal of all the words after the words "and of Ordinance for each subsequent year of assessment" in the sixth and 1940, s. 60. seventh lines thereof.

No. 13 of

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of this Bill deletes from section 60 of the principal Ordinance the words "in respect of the property, income and profits of every person for the year preceding the year of assessment, but without prejudice to any provisions of this Ordinance which enact that tax is to be charged in particular cases in respect of property, income and profits for a period other than the year preceding the year of assessment".

2. The intention of section 60 was to fix the starting date of the Taxes under the Ordinance.

3. Provision is already made in sections 10 and 18 for the calculation of salaries and profits taxes on the basis of the preceding year.

4. In the case of property tax however, section 5 pro- vides for charging the tax on the rateable value as assessed for Rating purposes. It does not appear to have been the intention of the War Revenue Committee which framed the principal Ordinance that for property tax the rateable value for the current year should be disregarded and that the value of the previous year should be taken as a basis; but it has been suggested that the construction of the last part of section 60 of the principal Ordinance may have that effect.

5. It has therefore been decided to repeal these words so as to restore the apparent intention of the Committee with regard to that tax. The references to income and profits in the words repealed are unnecessary in view of the provisions of sections 10 and 18 of the principal Ordinance."

Substitution for Ordin- ance No. 32 of 1939,

s. 11 (2).

632

A BILL

INTITULED

[No. 19-10.6.40.-1.]

An Ordinance to amend the Compulsory Service Ordinance,

1939.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Compulsory Service Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (2) of Section 11 of the Compulsory Service Ordinance, 1939, as amended by Government Noti- fications No. 855 of 1939 and No. 604 of 1940, is repealed and the following sub-section is substituted therefor :-

(2) The said reserve shall be divided into groups, to which the members shall be respectively assigned by the tribunal, namely-

(a) a combatant group;

(b) a key-posts group consisting of persons who, in the event of any emergency contemplated by the Compulsory Service Tribunal, will be primarily required, in the opinion of the tribunal, to continue in the work in which they are normally engaged;

(c) a general group for essential services consisting of persons who, in the event of any emergency contemplated by the Compulsory Service tribunal will be primarily required, in the opinion of the tribunal, to perform essential services which are not those in which they are normally engaged :

Provided that, subject to the provisions of section 8 as to appeals, the Compulsory Service tribunal may at any time revoke or vary an assignment of a person to a particular group and may assign him to another group:

Provided also that no person who has attained the age of forty six years, or who expresses a conscientious objection to the undertaking of combatant service, shall without his consent be assigned to the combatant group:

Provided further that any male British subject of whatever age may at any time, with the consent of the proper military authority, voluntarily enrol himself in the key-posts group or the essential services group of the reserve.

Objects and Reasons.

1. This Bill repeals section 11 (2) of the principal Ordin- ance and substitutes a revised sub-section in order to assist the Compulsory Service tribunal in making their assignments and re-assignments to the three groups into which the Hong Kong Defence Reserve is divided.

633

2. In its existing form the sub-section provides for (a) a combatant group (sub-divided by sub-section (3) into naval, military and air sections), (b) a key-posts group of persons whose services are primarily required in the work in which they are normally engaged and (e) a general group for essential services.

3. The definition attached to the key-posts group and the lack of definition for the general group for essential services has caused some misapprehension in the minds of the tribunal, employers, employees and the general public.

4. In the proposed substituted section a definition is attached to each of these two groups which should go far to remove that misapprehension.

     The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China, on behalf of the Government of Hong Kong invite applica- tions for $6,000,000 as above in bearer bonds of $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Applications must be for even thousands.

652

The Loan is secured on the general revenues and assets of Hong Kong and the principal will be repaid by annual drawings at par on the 15th day of July in each of the twenty five years commencing in 1941 at the annual rate of one twenty-fifth of the issue which will, therefore, be finally paid off by 1965. Repayment will be made at the Head Office of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Hong Kong, or at the Hong Kong Office of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, on the bonds so drawn being surrendered, interest ceasing on such bonds each 15th July.

 Interest will be payable half yearly on the 15th January and 15th July on the surrender of the coupons at the above Offices.

 Applications, which must be accompanied by a deposit of $25 per cent., will be received at the Office of either of the two Banks above mentioned. In the case of partial allotment the balance of the amount paid on application will be applied towards pay- ment of the balance due. If there should be a surplus after making that payment such surplus will be refunded by cheque. If no allotment is made the full amount paid on application will be refunded.

 Interest at 4% per annum will be charged on any balance outstanding after 10th July, 1940, and non-payment of the balance by that date may render the deposit previously paid liable to forfeiture and the allotment cancelled.

At a later date allottees will receive bonds with interest coupons attached for the amounts so allotted in exchange for the receipted application and allotment letters.

 The proceeds of this issue will be utilised to repay to the Treasury certain moneys advanced from the surplus balances of the Colony for the carrying out of various public works.

No. S. 298.-The following Bills were read a first time at a meeting of the Council held on the 20th June, 1940: ---

A BILL

[No. 16-28.5.40.-1.]

Short title.

Amendment

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Immigration and Passports

Ordinance, 1934.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Immigration and Passports Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (3) of Section 11 of the Immigration and of Ordinance Passports Ordinance, 1934, is amended by the addition, after the words "shall be paid" at the end thereof, of the words-

No. 8 of 1934, s. 11 (3).

"unless reciprocal arrangements exist with the country of which the holder is a national for dispensing with fees for permits of the same or similar effect ".

2

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 11 (3) of the principal Ordinance provides that the holder of a valid passport or travel document which bears an endorsement defining a limited period of stay in the Colony shall not remain in the Colony after the period has expired: Provided that the period of his stay may be extended with the consent of the Commissioner of Police for which consent the official signature fee of $5.00 shall be paid.

2. It may be argued that this ordinary Official Signature Fee is in effect the statutory fee for a temporary residential permit.

3. This Bill will add words at the end of the section which will waive the fee where reciprocal arrangements exist with the country of which the holder of the passport or travel document is a national for dispensing with fees for permits. of the same or similar effect.

June, 1940.

C. G. ALABASTER,

663

[No. 17-3.6.40.-1.]

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the War Revenue Ordinance, 1940.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the War Revenue Short title.. Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

No. 13 of

2. Section 60 of the War Revenue Ordinance, 1940, is Amendment amended by the repeal of all the words after the words "and of Ordinance for each subsequent year of assessment" in the sixth and 1940, s. 60. seventh lines thereof.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of this Bill deletes from section 60 of the principal Ordinance the words "in respect of the property, income and profits of every person for the year preceding the year of assessment, but without prejudice to any provisions of this Ordinance which enact that tax is to be charged in particular cases in respect of property, income and profits for a period other than the year preceding the year of assessment".

2. The intention of section 60 was to fix the starting date of the Taxes under the Ordinance.

3. Provision is already made in sections 10 and 18 for the calculation of salaries and profits taxes on the basis of the preceding year.

4. In the case of property tax however, section 5 pro- vides for charging the tax on the rateable value as assessed for Rating purposes. It does not appear to have been the intention of the War Revenue Committee which framed the principal Ordinance that for property tax the rateable value for the current year should be disregarded and that the value of the previous year should be taken as a basis; but it has been suggested that the construction of the last part of section 60 of the principal Ordinance may have that effect.

5. It has therefore been decided to repeal these words so as to restore the apparent intention of the Committee with regard to that tax. The references to income and profits in the words repealed are unnecessary in view of the provisions of sections 10 and 18 of the principal Ordinance.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Compulsory Short title. Service Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

ance No. 32

2. Sub-section (2) of Section 11 of the Compulsory Substitution Service Ordinance, 1939, as amended by Government Noti- for Ordin- fications No. 855 of 1939 and No. 604 of 1940, is repealed of 1939, and the following sub-section is substituted therefor :-

(2) The said reserve shall be divided into groups, to which the members shall be respectively assigned by the tribunal, namely

(a) a combatant group;

(b) a key-posts group consisting of persons who, in the event of any emergency contemplated by the Compulsory Service Tribunal, will be primarily required, in the opinion of the tribunal, to continue in the work in which they are normally engaged;

(c) a general group for essential services consisting of persons who, in the event of any emergency contemplated by the Compulsory Service tribunal will be primarily required, in the opinion of the tribunal, to perform essential services which are not those in which they are normally engaged:

Provided that, subject to the provisions of section 8 as to appeals, the Compulsory Service tribunal may at any time revoke or vary an assignment of a person to a particular group and may assign him to another group:

Provided also that no person who has attained the age of forty six years, or who expresses a conscientious objection to the undertaking of combatant service, shall without his consent be assigned to the combatant group:

Provided further that any male British subject of whatever age may at any time, with the consent of the proper military authority, voluntarily enrol himself in the key-posts group or the essential services group of the reserve.

s. 11 (2).

Objects and Reasons.

1. This Bill repeals section 11 (2) of the principal Ordin- ance and substitutes a revised sub-section in order to assist the Compulsory Service tribunal in making their assignments and re-assignments to the three groups into which the Hong Kong Defence Reserve is divided.

- 666

2. In its existing form the sub-section provides for (a) a combatant group (sub-divided by sub-section (3) into naval, military and air sections), (b) a key-posts group of persons whose services are primarily required in the work in which they are normally engaged and (c) a general group for essential services.

3. The definition attached to the key-posts group and the lack of definition for the general group for essential services has caused some misapprehension in the minds of the tribunal, employers, employees and the general public.

4. In the proposed substituted section a definition is attached to each of these two groups which should go far to remove that misapprehension. Under it the key-posts group will consist of persons who in the event of an emergency contemplated by the tribunal will be primarily required, in the opinion of the tribunal, to continue in the work in which they are normally engaged; whilst the essential services group will consist of persons who in the event of an emergency contemplated by the tribunal will be primarily required, in the opinion of the tribunal, to perform essential services which are not those in which they are normally engaged.

5. In the revised sub-section the three provisos have been re-arranged. The third proviso added by Government Notification No. 855 of the 23rd September, 1939, will become the first proviso. The original first proviso as amended by Government Notification No. 604 of the 31st May, 1940, will become the second proviso, and the original second proviso will become the third proviso. This rearrangement of the provisos is made for greater clearness.

A BILL

Short title.

Amendment of Ordinance No. 32 of 1917, s. 5 (2).

[cf. Ordin- ance No. 18

of 1934,

s. 4].

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Fire and Marine Insurance

Companies Deposit Ordinance, 1917.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Fire and Marine Insurance Companies Deposit Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (2) of section 5 of the Fire and Marine Insurance Companies Deposit Ordinance, 1917, is repealed and the following sub-section is substituted therefor :-

(2) The deposit shall consist of securities of the follow- ing nature-

(a) fixed deposits in banks approved by the Governor in Council;

(b) stocks, funds or securities, other than the security of a charge on land by way of legal mortgage or otherwise, authorized by the Trustee Act, 1925, or in any manner which may be authorized by any Act amending or replacing the said Act;

(c) any Government securities of the Colony:

Provided that any company which has, before the 1st day of July, 1940, deposited securities not of the aforesaid nature shall have a period of three years from such date to replace such securities by securities of the aforesaid nature.

Objects and Reasons.

1. By section 5 (2) of the Principal Ordinance one half of the deposit required to be made might consist of cash deposit or gilt-edged securities or stock. To cover the remain- ing portion of the deposit companies often offer mortgages of leasehold property. These are an unsatisfactory form of security in that they are liable to great fluctuation in value, are not readily realizable and cause considerable work to Government in periodical assessing of their value. Moreover, it is not now the practice in England to accept mortgages as securities under such acts as the Assurance Companies Act, 1909, the Trustee Act, 1925, and the Road Traffic Act, 1934, although they are authorized investments under the Trustee Act, 1925. It is considered that the time has come when mortgages should no longer be accepted as security under the Ordinance and existing ones should be replaced.

749

2. Clause 2 of the Bill, which replaces sub-section 5 (2) sets out the nature of the securities to be deposited. In future only cash or gilt-edged securities will be accepted as deposit. The proviso allows those companies which have already made a deposit a period of three years within which they must comply with the new requirements.

s. 3 (8).

750

Objects and Reasons.

1. By section 3 (5) of the principal Ordinance the whole or part of the deposit required to be made might consist of fixed deposits in certain banks. To cover the remaining portion, if any, of the deposit companies often offer mortgages of leasehold property. These are an unsatis- factory form of security in that they are liable to great fluctuation in value, are not readily realizable and cause considerable work to Government in periodical assessing of their value. Moreover, it is not now the practice in England to accept mortgages as securities under such acts as the Assurance Companies Act, 1909, the Trustee Act, 1925, and the Road Traffic Act, 1934, although they are authorized investments under the Trustee Act, 1925. It is considered that the time has come when mortgages should no longer be accepted as security under the Ordinance and existing ones should be replaced.

2. Clause 2 of the Bill, which replaces section 3 (5), sets out the nature of the securities to be deposited. In future only cash or gilt-edged securities will be accepted as deposit. The proviso allows those companies which have already made a deposit a period of three years within which to comply with the new requirements.

3. The amendment in clause 3 is consequential on the repeal of section 3 (5).

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

No. 8. 361.-The following Bills were read a first time at a meeting of the Council held on the 25th July, 1940:

Short title.

Amendment

A BILL

[No. 20:-19.6.40.-1.]

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Fire and Marine Insurance

Companies Deposit Ordinance, 1917.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Fire and Marine Insurance Companies Deposit Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

     2. Sub-section (2) of section 5 of the Fire and Marine of Ordinance Insurance Companies Deposit Ordinance, 1917, is repealed

and the following sub-section is substituted therefor :-

No. 32 of

1917, s. 5 (2).

[cf. Ordin- ance No. 18

of 1934.

s. 4].

(2) The deposit shall consist of securities of the follow- ing nature-

(a) fixed deposits in banks approved by the Governor in Council;

(b) stocks, funds or securities, other than the security of a charge on land by way of legal mortgage or otherwise, authorized by the Trustee Act, 1925, or in any manner which may be authorized by any Act amending or replacing the said Act;

(c) any Government securities of the Colony:

Provided that any company which has, before the 1st day of July, 1940, deposited securities not of the aforesaid nature shall have a period of three years from such date to replace such securities by securities of the aforesaid nature.

Objects and Reasons.

1. By section 5 (2) of the Principal Ordinance one half of the deposit required to be made might consist of cash deposit or gilt-edged securities or stock. To cover the remain- ing portion of the deposit companies often offer mortgages of leasehold property. These are an unsatisfactory form of security in that they are liable to great fluctuation in value, are not readily realizable and cause considerable work to Government in periodical assessing of their value. Moreover, it is not now the practice in England to accept mortgages as securities under such acts as the Assurance Companies Act, 1909, the Trustee Act, 1925, and the Road Traffic Act, 1934, although they are authorized investments under the Trustee Act, 1925. It is considered that the time has come when mortgages should no longer be accepted as security under the Ordinance and existing ones should be replaced.

*

773

2. Clause 2 of the Bill, which replaces sub-section 5 (2) sets out the nature of the securities to be deposited. In future only cash or gilt-edged securities will be accepted as deposit. The proviso allows those companies which have already made a deposit a period of three years within which they must comply with the new requirements.

774

Objects and Reasons.

1. By section 3 (5) of the principal Ordinance the whole or part of the deposit required to be made might consist of fixed deposits in certain banks. To cover the remaining portion, if any, of the deposit companies often offer mortgages of leasehold property. These are an unsatis- factory form of security in that they are liable to great fluctuation in value, are not readily realizable and cause considerable work to Government in periodical assessing of their value. Moreover, it is not now the practice in England to accept mortgages as securities under such acts as the Assurance Companies Act, 1909, the Trustee Act, 1925, and the Road Traffic Act, 1934, although they are authorized investments under the Trustee Act, 1925. It is considered that the time has come when mortgages should no longer be accepted as security under the Ordinance and existing ones should be replaced.

2. Clause 2 of the Bill, which replaces section 3 (5), sets out the nature of the securities to be deposited. In future only cash or gilt-edged securities will be accepted as deposit. The proviso allows those companies which have already made a deposit a period of three years within which to comply with the new requirements.

3. The amendment in clause 3 is consequential on the repeal of section 3 (5).

[No. 22:18.7.40.-1.

A BILL

Short title.

Amendment

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Buildings Ordinance. 1935.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Buildings Amend- ment Ordinance, 1940.

     2. Paragraph (2) of the proviso to section 85 of the of Ordinance Buildings Ordinance, 1935, is amended by the substitution of

the date 1941 " for the date "1940" at the end thereof.

No. 18 of

1935, s. 85.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 85 of the Buildings Ordinance, 1935, as amended by Ordinance No. 58 of 1936 is as follows:-

85. For the purpose of sections 82 and 84, re-erection includes every alteration of an existing building in such a manner as to make the resulting building a new building or in such a manner as to make the resulting building or any part thereof an exceptional building. but the erection of reinforced concrete stairs, roofs, lintels or kitchen or bath- room floors only, in an existing building shall not be deemed to make such building an exceptional building and

Provided that :-

(1) In the case of an existing building which is provided by the owner with an open space in the rear or partly in the rear and partly on the side exclusively belonging to such building, equal in area to not less than one-third of the roofed-over area of such building, the erection of reinforced concrete floors only shall not be deemed to make such building an exceptional building.

(2) Proviso (1) shall only be effective for a period expiring on the 31st December, 1940.

2. The object of this Bill is to extend the effect of Proviso (1) until the 31st December, 1941. The Prevention of Eviction Legislation (Ordinance No. 6 of 1938, Ordinances Nos. 5, 19 and 44 of 1939 and Ordinance No. 14 of 1940) has hindered some building owners in taking advantage of the proviso, so it has been considered equitable to extend its operation for a further year.

No. S. 401.-The following Bill is published for general information :--

[No. 23:-7.8.40.-1.]

A BILL

Short title.

Amendments of Ordinance No. 13 of

1914, s. 2.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Public Lighting Ordinance, 1914.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Public Lighting Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 2 of the Public Lighting Ordinance, 1914, is amended-

CC

(i) by the insertion of the words or for the control of pedestrian and vehicular traffic therein" after the word "Colony" in the fourth line.

(ii) by the insertion of the words "or control the words "such lighting in the fifth line:

وو

after

the words "the lighting

(iii) by the insertion of the words "or control

the lighting" in the penultimate line.

after

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of the principal Ordinance is as follows:--

2. It shall be lawful for the Director of Public Works to cause a sufficient number of posts, standards and brackets for the lighting of the public or private streets, roads, ways and thoroughfares of the Colony to be provided and to be set up, fixed or erected in all suitable situations for such lighting, whether in any of the said streets, roads, ways or thorough- fares or in any place adjacent thereto or upon or against the wall of any house or building or the side of any wall or fence, or elsewhere, as he may think proper; and it shall also be lawful for him to cause to be provided and put up and affixed upon the said posts, standards and brackets such a number of lamps and of such sizes and sorts respectively as may be found requisite for the lighting of the said streets, roads, ways and thoroughfares respectively.

2. In view of the fact that when the Ordinance was passed, motor traffic was in its infancy and no provision was made for the beacons and traffic control lights which are now such a common feature of street lighting, doubts have been expressed as to whether the section is wide enough to cover such additional lights which are however, like the ordinary. lamp-post, intended to give greater protection to the public users of thoroughfares.

3. Clause 2 of this Bill is intended to remove those doubts by the addition of suitable words wherever required in the section.

(2) Proviso (1) shall only be effective for a period expiring on the 31st December, 1940.

2. The object of this Bill is to extend the effect of Proviso (1) until the 31st December, 1941. The Prevention of Eviction Legislation (Ordinance No. 6 of 1938, Ordinances Nos. 5, 19 and 44 of 1939 and Ordinance No. 14 of 1940) has hindered some building owners in taking advantage of the proviso, so it has been considered equitable to extend its operation for a further year.

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Public Lighting Ordinance, 1914.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Public Lighting Short title. Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 2 of the Public Lighting Ordinance, 1914, is Amendments amended-

(i) by the insertion of the words "or for the control of pedestrian and vehicular traffic therein" after the word

Colony" in the fourth line.

(ii) by the insertion of the words or control" after the words "such lighting" in the fifth line.

(iii) by the insertion of the words or control" after the words "the lighting" in the penultimate line.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of the principal Ordinance is as follows:- 2. It shall be lawful for the Director of Public Works to cause a sufficient number of posts, standards and brackets for the lighting of the public or private streets, roads, ways and thoroughfares of the Colony to be provided and to be set up, fixed or erected in all suitable situations for such lighting, whether in any of the said streets, roads, ways or thorough- fares or in any place adjacent thereto or upon or against the wall of any house or building or the side of any wall or fence, or elsewhere, as he may think proper; and it shall also be lawful for him to cause to be provided and put up and affixed upon the said posts, standards and brackets such a number of lamps and of such sizes and sorts respectively as may be found requisite for the lighting of the said streets, roads, ways and thoroughfares respectively.

2. In view of the fact that when the Ordinance was passed, motor traffic was in its infancy and no provision was made for the beacons and traffic control lights which are now such a common feature of street lighting, doubts have been expressed as to whether the section is wide enough to cover such additional lights which are however, like the ordinary lamp-post, intended to give greater protection to the public users of thoroughfares.

 3. Clause 2 of this Bill is intended to remove those doubts by the addition of suitable words wherever required in the section.

1940.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the War Revenue (No. 2) Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Section 8 of the War Revenue Ordinance, 1940, (hereinafter referred to as the principal Ordinance) is amended by the addition of the following paragraph at the end of the proviso of exemptions thereto :-

(v) any income exempted by order of the Governor in Council under section 62.

3. Section 10 of the principal Ordinance is repealed and the following section is substituted therefor :---

10. (1) The assessable income chargeable to salaries tax for any year of assessment shall be computed, where practicable, on the income of the recipient as defined in section 9 for the year preceding that year of assessment so that-

(a) if the recipient resides in the Colony for the whole of both years the assessable income shall be the income of the year preceding the year of assessment;

(b) if the recipient resides in the Colony for the whole of the preceding year, but only for a portion of the year of assessment, the assessable income shall be a proportionate fraction of the income of the preceding year;

(c) if the recipient resides in the Colony for a portion of the preceding year, but for the whole of the year of assessment, the assessable income shall be a proportionate multiple of the income of the preceding year;

(d) if the recipient resides in the Colony for a portion only of each year the assessable income shall be calculated by increasing or decreasing the income of the previous year so that it shall proportionately represent the period of residence during the year of assessment;

(e) if the recipient does not reside in the Colony during the year of assessment no assessment shall be made for that year;

(f) if the recipient resides in the Colony for the whole or a portion of the year of assessment, but with no income of the previous year on which to base a practicable assess- ment, a special assessment shall be made on the basis of the probable income of the recipient during the period of his residence in the year of assessment.

865

(2) For the purposes of this section---

(a) absence from the Colony on leave pay or pension during a year of assessment shall be deemed to be residence in the Colony unless the income payable in respect of that leave pay or pension is liable to Income Tax in the United Kingdom or in any other part of the British Empire;

(b) any periods of temporary residence in the Colony not exceeding in all three months during a year of assessment shall not be regarded as residence in the Colony.

5. Section 18 of the principal Ordinance is amended (a) by the insertion of the words " computed, where practicable, on" between the words "shall be" and "the full amount" in the third line of sub-section (1);

(b) by the addition after sub-section (4) thereof of the following new sub-section:

(5) Where, by reason of the fact that any trade, pro- fession or business has not been carried on during the whole or a sufficient portion of the year preceding the year of assessment, or where otherwise it is in the opinion of the Commissioner impracticable to make a reasonable computa- tion based on the profits during the year preceding the year of assessment, a special assessment shall be made on the basis of the probable profits during the year of assessment.

The Amendments effected by this Ordinance and by Retro- Ordinance No. 21 of 1940 shall operate retrospectively to spective the commencement of the principal Ordinance and any pay- amendments. ment that may have been made in excess of the payment authorized by the principal Ordinance as so amended shall be refunded.

866

Objects and Reasons.

1. The proviso to section 8 of the War Revenue Ordin- ance, 1940, exempted four classes of income from the Salaries Tax imposed by that section. Experience has shown that the exemptions are insufficiently elastic to cover certain special cases to which exemption may be reasonably extended. Thus exemption (ii), which covers the official emoluments of consuls, vice-consuls, and persons employed on the staff of any consulate, who are subjects or citizens of the States which they represent, is insufficiently elastic to cover the case of the Treasury Representative of a State whom it may be considered desirable or politic to exempt.

2. Consequently clause 2 of this Bill adds a paragraph to cover such cases where exemption has been granted by the Governor in Council.

3. The principal Ordinance, No. 13 of 1940, was drafted by a large Committee as a substitute for Income Tax and as a special measure for raising additional revenue during the War. Necessarily it had to be prepared against time to make it effective for the financial year 1940-1941; but the size of the Committee and the various interests and views they represented as to the nature and incidence of the special new taxes tended to obscure any clear decision on details borrowed in part from the Revenue Laws of other States and Colonies. This obscurity has arisen especially in those por- tions of the principal Ordinance which use the income or profits of the year preceding the year of assessment as a convenient statutory yard-stick for the computation of the income or profits for the year of assessment. It seems clear that the Committee did not intend the Ordinance to be retrospective in operation so as to raise taxes for the previous year, and it seems equally clear that they did not intend the yard-stick of income or profits to be used also as a yard-stick of residence so as to require a person, who was in the Colony for six months in a year of assessment and for the whole of the year preceding, to pay salaries tax on one year's income or even on one and a half year's income, instead of one-half of a year's income.

4. The amendments effected by clauses 3 and 5 of the Bill are intended to remove obscurities and to restore what is believed to have been the intention of the War Revenue Committee in relation to Salaries Tax and to Profits Tax. A similar obscurity in relation to Property Tax was removed by the Amending Ordinance No. 21 of 1940.

5. Clause 4 of the Bill applies the proportionate rule for allowances in section 11 also to the exemption of incomes under four thousand eight hundred dollars in the proviso to section 8.

6. Clause 6 of the Bill adds a sub-section to section 46 of the principal Ordinance enabling the Commissioner to accept payment by instalments where hardship would result from payment in a single amount.

7. Clause 7 implements clause 2 by conferring on the Governor in Council a general power of exemption.

8. Clause 8 makes the amendments retrospective and provides for refunds.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Pensions (War Service) Ordinance, 1940, and shall be construed as one with the Pensions Ordinance, 1932, (as amended by the Pensions Amendment Ordinances, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1939), hereinafter called the principal Ordinance.

War Service

to count for pension purposes.

2. Where an officer shall have served with His Majesty's Forces in time of war, with the approval of the Governor of the territory in the service of which he was last employed before so serving or of the Secretary of State, the following provisions shall have effect:-

(1) During the period of such service in His Majesty's Forces, including any period after the termination of the war (in this section referred to as military service"), he shall be deemed, for the purposes of the principal Ordinance and the Pensions regulations thereunder, to have been on leave on full salary from the public service in which he was last employed, and to have held the substantive office last held by him in that service, prior to military service.

(2) During any period between his leaving the public service for the purpose of serving in His Majesty's Forces and the date of his commencing military service, he shall, for the purposes of the principal Ordinance and of the said Regulations, be deemed to be on leave without pay, not granted on grounds of public policy, from the public service in which he was last employed, and to have held the substantive office last held by him in that service, prior to military service; and during any period between the termination of his military service and the date of his re- entering the public service he shall, for the said purposes, be deemed to be on leave as aforesaid from the service, and to have held the substantive office, in which he is re- employed: Provided that

897

(a) This section shall not apply when either period men- tioned in paragraph (2) of this section exceeds three months, or such longer period as the Governor, with the approval of the Secretary of State, may in any special case determine; or if the officer fails, after serving with His Majesty's Forces, to re-enter the public service otherwise than in circum- stances in which he would be permitted, under the law applicable to the public service in which he is last employed prior to military service, to retire on pension or gratuity, such circumstances arising not later than the expiration of three months, or such longer period as may be determined as aforesaid, after the termination of his military service;

(b) If during any period mentioned in paragraph (1) of this section the officer shall have qualified for pension, or received emoluments in lieu of pension rights, actually in respect of military service, paragraph (1) of this section shall, as respects that period, have effect as if the words leave without salary not granted on grounds of public policy" were substituted for the words "leave on full salary";

(c) If during his military service the officer shall be injured or killed, he shall not, for the purposes of any provision of the principal Ordinance or of the Regulations thereunder relating to injury awards be deemed to have been injured or killed in the discharge of his duty;

(d) The provisions of this section which require that the officer shall be deemed to have held a specified office and to have been on leave from a specified service shall not apply in respect of any period during which he shall actually have held any other substantive office and have been on leave from any public service;

(e) Save where in any particular case the Governor otherwise directs, this section shall not apply where the office in the public service last held by the officer prior to military service was not a pensionable office.

Objects and Reasons.

This Bill is in accordance with a draft Ordinance, issued by the Secretary of State with his Circular despatch of the 26th February, 1940, to make provision, in accordance with principles determined by the Secretary of State, governing the pension rights of Colonial public officers released for military service with the approval of the Governor of the territory in the service of which the officers in question were last employed.

[No. 26-26.9.40.-2.]

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Midwives Ordinance, 1910.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Midwives Amend- ment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Midwives Ordin- ance, 1910, is amended by the substitution of the words "eight other persons, two of whom shall be certified and enrolled midwives under this Ordinance," for the words "six other persons".

3. Sub-section (2) of section 4 of the Midwives Ordin- ance, 1910, is amended-

(i) in paragraph (a) (iii) by inserting the following words after the word "

training

(including such training after enrolment, at such intervals and for such periods as the Board may prescribe)";

(ii) in paragraph (e) by inserting the following words after the word misconduct," :-

"or of any midwife who, in the opinion of the Board is so inefficient, by reason of her not attaining the standard of proficiency required by any regulations for training after enrolment, that in the opinion of the Board it would be dangerous to allow her to continue to practice

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 4 (1) of the principal Ordinance provides for the establishment of a Midwives Board consisting of the Director of Medical Services and six other persons appointed by the Governor.

2. All seven members of the present Board are fully qualified medical practitioners and it is not considered desir- able to reduce the number of members so qualified as it is from members of the Board that examiners for the certificate are drawn.

i

965

3. At the same time it is considered desirable to permit midwives to be represented on the Board by certain qualified members of their own profession.

4. Clause 2 of this Bill, therefore, increases the personnel of the Board to nine, two of whom will be certified and enrolled midwives.

5. Section 4 (2) of the principal Ordinance enumerates the powers and duties of the Midwives Board. Paragraph (a) (iii) empowers it to make regulations, subject to the approval of the Governor, regulating the course of training and the conduct of examinations. Paragraph (e) empowers it to decide upon the removal from the roll of the name of any midwife for disobeying the regulations or for other mis- conduct, and upon the restoration to the roll of the name of any midwife so removed.

(6) Doubts have been expressed as to whether the powers in the said paragraphs were sufficiently comprehensive to authorize régulations providing for post-graduate training or for the removal from the roll of those not attaining the standard of proficiency required by such post-graduate training regulations.

7. Clause 3 of the Bill amends the two paragraphs so as to remove these doubts.

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Factories and Workshops Ordin-

ance, 1937.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Factories and Short title. Workshops Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

for Ordin-

2. Sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 8 of the Factories Substitution and Workshops Ordinance, 1937, are repealed and the follow- ing sub-sections are substituted therefor:-

ance No. 18 of 1937, ss. 8 (1) and (2).

Offences and

8.-(1) Every person who contravenes or attempts to contravene or fails to comply with any provision of this penalties. Ordinance or of any by-law made thereunder shall be guilty of an offence against this Ordinance and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars: Provided that in the case of a continuing

966

offence the magistrate, if satisfied that the offence has been knowingly and wilfully committed during a period exceeding ten days, may in addition to the said fine impose a further fine not exceeding fifty dollars per day in respect of each day of such excess.

(2) The proprietor of every factory, workshop or indus- trial undertaking in respect of which any offence against this Ordinance has been committed shall be guilty of a like offence.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 8 of the principal Ordinance is as follows:-

8.-(1) Every person who contravenes or attempts to contravene or fails to comply with any provision of this Ordinance or of any by-law made thereunder shall be guilty of an offence against this Ordinance.

(2) The proprietor of every factory, workshop or indus- trial undertaking in respect of which any offence against this Ordinance has been committed shall on summary conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars.

(3) It shall be no defence to a prosecution of the pro- prietor of a factory, workshop or industrial undertaking for an offence under this section that the offence was committed without his knowledge or consent or that the actual offender has not been convicted of the offence.

2. It appears therefore that whilst sub-sections (2) and (3) provide for a summary fine in the case of a proprietor even where he is not the actual offender no express provision is made in sub-section (1) for a summary fine on offenders who are not proprietors nor is any special provision made for offences knowingly and wilfully persisted in over a consider- able period.

3. Clause 2 of this Bill recasts the first two sub-sections of section 8 of the principal Ordinance in order to remedy these defects.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Betting Duty Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. The Proviso to section 2 of the Betting Duty Ordin- ance, 1931, is repealed and the following Proviso is sub- stituted therefor-

Provided that not less than eighty-nine per cent., or in the case of a club organizing the race not less than seventy- eight per cent., of the total contributions or subscriptions, after deduction of the duty, shall be devoted to prizes for the subscribers.

  3. Section 6 (2) of the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931, of Ordinance is amended by the substitution of the words "ten per cent.'

1931, s. 6 (2). for the words "five per cent.".

Commence- ment.

,,

4. This Ordinance shall come into force on the 1st day of January, 1941.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Bill is to raise the betting duty on cash-sweep tickets from five per cent. to ten per cent.

2. Clause 3 of the Bill provides for that change in section 6 (2) of the principal Ordinance, No. 40 of 1931.

3. This raising of the duty involves reconsideration of the proviso to section 6 (2) of the principal Ordinance which enacted that not less than ninety per cent., or in the case of a club organizing the race not less than eighty per cent., of the total contributions or subscriptions, after deduction of the duty, should be devoted to prizes for the subscribers.

3. The Taxation Committee recommended that any increase in betting duty should be borne entirely by the betting public, and to achieve this result as nearly as possible

ninety clause 2 of the Bill substitutes eighty-nine" for

       in the proviso to section and "seventy-eight" for "eighty 2 of the principal Ordinance.

66

4. The changed figures will enable the clubs as well as the Government to derive some benefit; but there is nothing in the new proviso to prevent the clubs devoting to prizes for

the public a higher percentage if they so decide.

5. Clause 4 of the Bill provides that the amendments. shall come into force on the 1st January, 1941.

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend further the Advertisements Regula-

tion Ordinance, 1912.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Advertisements Short title. Regulation (No. 2) Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

of Ordinance

2. Sub-section (4) of section 5 of the Advertisements Repeal of Regulation Ordinance, 1912, enacted by section 3 of the section 5 (4) Advertisements Regulation Amendment Ordinance, 1940, is No. 19 of repealed.

1912 enacted by Ordinance No. 16 of 1940, s. 3.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 5 of the principal Advertisements Regulation Ordinance, No. 19 of 1912, as it appears in Volumn II of the 1937 edition of the Ordinances of Hong Kong gave certain powers to the Director of Public Works and the Commis- sioner of Police, and their authorized deputies, with regard to the removal or obliteration of illegal advertisements and sky signs.

2. Sub-section (4) of that section provided that the Director of Public Works, the Commissioner of Police and any person so authorized or deputed by either of them as aforesaid should not be held liable for any damage done by him in the course of the removal or obliteration of any adver- tisement in pursuance of that section.

&

3. The Amending Ordinance, No. 16 of 1940, repealed the whole section and enacted another generally to the same. effect but substituting the Chairman of the Urban Council for the Director of Public Works and the Commissioner of Police.

4. While there is no objection to the transfer of duties and powers under the Ordinance from the head of one department to the head of another, sub-section (4) of section 5 is both in its original and in its substituted form open to the objection, which has been pointed out by the Secretary of State in his despatch of the 15th August, 1940, relating to the Amending Ordinance, that it is generally undesirable to include in legislation enactments which negative or restrict normal rights of action against public officers or public bodies such as the right of action which a private person may have in respect of an illegal or negligent act.

5. The object therefore of this amending Bill is to repeal the sub-section.

:

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Bill is to repeal the Immigration and Passports Ordinance, No. 8 of 1934, and to replace it by an Ordinance which will carry out a recommendation of the Excess Population Reduction Committee as elaborated in A Scheme for the Control of Immigration into Hong Kong" prepared by Mr. S. M. Middlebrook of the Malayan Civil Service temporarily seconded to Hong Kong for advice on immigration questions.

2. Although China issues passports to its nationals very few of such nationals possess them, and indeed even very few of the nationals of European countries found it necessary to have them for entry into the Colony until the enactment of the Passports Ordinance, No. 35 of 1923 (since repealed and replaced by Ordinance No. 8 of 1934).

है

· 1061

3. The regulations under the 1923 Ordinance, and the provisions of the 1934 Ordinance exempted (a) persons under the age of fifteen years, (b) persons of Chinese race and (c) persons who pass through the waters of the Colony with- out landing, and the 1934 Ordinance also exempted persons employed in the service of any ship who arrive in the Colony and leave in the same ship on her next departure. Permis- sion to enter was denied to all other persons unless they were in possession of valid passports or travel documents, and under section 4 of the 1934 Ordinance certain classes of undesirable immigrants could also be excluded.

4. The Excess Population Reduction Committee recom- mended, inter alia, the suspension of the exemption in the case of persons of Chinese race; but recommended also that Entry Passes and Residential Certificates should be issued locally and accepted for entry into the Colony as the equivalent of passports in the case of those who did not possess passports or travel documents.

5. Mr. Middlebrook's scheme elaborates this recom- mendation and provides also for the issue of Frontier Passes. But the chief feature of his scheme is the establishment of an Immigration Department to take over the duties of the Police Passport Office and to issue all the entry documents, passes and certificates.

66

وو

6. The local issue of residential certificates is not new in the history of the Colony. Thus by Ordinance No. 16 of 1844 to secure tranquillity and good order in the Colony of Hong Kong and its dependencies and to prevent the resort thereto of abandoned characters and of persons without any ostensible means of subsistence a Registry was established for the registration of all male residents of the age of twenty- one years and upwards or capable of earning a livelihood; and registration tickets, for which fees were payable, were granted by the Registrar General to applicants who appeared fit and proper persons to be permitted to reside in the Colony. The Registrar General was also empowered to prohibit from residing in the Colony vagabonds or bad characters without visible means of subsistence.

7. Similar Ordinances have been enacted from time to time as the development of the Colony required, but generally it has not been found necessary or even desirable, in view of the geographical position of the Colony and the com- position of the majority of its inhabitants, to discourage free immigration until the overwhelming influx of refugees during the last two or three years made immigration control a neces- sity in the interests of health, sanitation and defence.

8. The scheme as at present envisaged is an emergency measure to meet abnormal conditions; and it is the intention. of the Government to re-examine the whole problem as soon as the situation permits.

9. A table of correspondence is attached showing the relation between the new provisions and the enactments they will replace.

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Midwives Ordinance, 1910.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Midwives Amend- ment Ordinance, 1940.

[C

2. Sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Midwives Ordin- ance, 1910, is amended by the substitution of the words eight other persons, two of whom shall be certified and enrolled midwives under this Ordinance," for the words six other persons".

C C

3. Sub-section (2) of section 4 of the Midwives Ordin- ance, 1910, is amended-

(i) in paragraph (a) (iii) by inserting the following words after the word "training"

(including such training after enrolment, at such intervals and for such periods as the Board may prescribe) ";

(ii) in paragraph (e) by inserting the following words after the word misconduct," :-

66

"or of any midwife who, in the opinion of the Board is so inefficient, by reason of her not attaining and maintaining the standard of proficiency required by any regulations for train- ing after enrolment, that in the opinion of the Board it would be inimical to the interests of patients to allow her to continue to practise ".

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 4 (1) of the principal Ordinance provides for the establishment of a Midwives Board consisting of the Director of Medical Services and six other persons appointed. by the Governor.

2. All seven members of the present Board are fully qualified medical practitioners and it is not considered desir- able to reduce the number of members so qualified as it is from members of the Board that examiners for the certificate are drawn.

1065

3. At the same time it is considered desirable to permit midwives to be represented on the Board by certain qualified members of their own profession.

4. Clause 2 of this Bill, therefore, increases the personnel of the Board to nine, two of whom will be certified and enrolled midwives.

5. Section 4 (2) of the principal Ordinance enumerates the powers and duties of the Midwives Board. Paragraph (a) (iii) empowers it to make regulations, subject to the approval of the Governor, regulating the course of training and the conduct of examinations. Paragraph (e) empowers it to decide upon the removal from the roll of the name of any midwife for disobeying the regulations or for other mis- conduct, and upon the restoration to the roll of the name of any midwife so removed.

6. Doubts have been expressed as to whether the powers in the said paragraphs were sufficiently comprehensive to authorize regulations providing for post-graduate training or for the removal from the roll of those not attaining the standard of proficiency required by such post-graduate training regulations.

7. Clause 3 of the Bill amends the two paragraphs so as to remove these doubts.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Bill is to repeal the Immigration. and Passports Ordinance, No. 8 of 1934, and to replace it by an Ordinance which will carry out a recommendation of the Excess Population Reduction Committee as elaborated in "A Scheme for the Control of Immigration into Hong Kong' prepared by Mr. S. M. Middlebrook of the Malayan Civil Service temporarily seconded to Hong Kong for advice on immigration questions.

وو

2. Although China issues passports to its nationals very few of such nationals possess them, and indeed even very few of the nationals of European countries found it necessary to have them for entry into the Colony until the enactment of the Passports Ordinance, No. 35 of 1923 (since repealed and replaced by Ordinance No. 8 of 1934).

T

1095

3. The regulations under the 1923 Ordinance, and the provisions of the 1934 Ordinance exempted (a) persons under the age of fifteen years, (b) persons of Chinese race and (c) persons who pass through the waters of the Colony with- out landing, and the 1934 Ordinance also exempted persons employed in the service of any ship who arrive in the Colony and leave in the same ship on her next departure. Permis- sion to enter was denied to all other persons unless they were in possession of valid passports or travel documents, and under section 4 of the 1934 Ordinance certain classes of undesirable immigrants could also be excluded.

4. The Excess Population Reduction Committee recom- mended, inter alia, the suspension of the exemption in the case of persons of Chinese race; but recommended also that Entry Passes and Residential Certificates should be issued locally and accepted for entry into the Colony as the equivalent of passports in the case of those who did not possess passports or travel documents.

5. Mr. Middlebrook's scheme elaborates this recom- mendation and provides also for the issue of Frontier Passes. But the chief feature of his scheme is the establishment of an Immigration Department to take over the duties of the Police Passport Office and to issue all the entry documents, passes and certificates.

6. The local issue of residential certificates is not new in the history of the Colony. Thus by Ordinance No. 16 of 1844 "to secure tranquillity and good order in the Colony of Hong Kong and its dependencies and to prevent the resort thereto of abandoned characters and of persons without any ostensible means of subsistence" a Registry was established for the registration of all male residents of the age of twenty- one years and upwards or capable of earning a livelihood; and registration tickets, for which fees were payable, were granted by the Registrar General to applicants who appeared fit and proper persons to be permitted to reside in the Colony. The Registrar General was also empowered to prohibit from residing in the Colony vagabonds or bad characters without visible means of subsistence.

7. Similar Ordinances have been enacted from time to time as the development of the Colony required, but generally it has not been found necessary or even desirable, in view of the geographical position of the Colony and the com- position of the majority of its inhabitants, to discourage free immigration until the overwhelming influx of refugees during the last two or three years made immigration control a neces- sity in the interests of health, sanitation and defence.

8. The scheme as at present envisaged is an emergency measure to meet abnormal conditions; and it is the intention of the Government to re-examine the whole problem as soon as the situation permits.

9. A table of correspondence is attached showing the relation between the new provisions and the enactments they will replace.

Substitution for Ordin- ance No. 40 of 1931, Proviso.

Amendment of Ordinance

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Betting Duty Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. The Proviso to section 2 of the Betting Duty Ordin- ance, 1931, is repealed and the following Proviso is sub- stituted therefor-

Provided that not less than eighty-nine per cent., or in the case of a club organizing the race not less than seventy- eight per cent., of the total contributions or subscriptions, after deduction of the duty, shall be devoted to prizes for the subscribers.

,,

3. Section 6 (2) of the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931, is amended by the substitution of the words "ten per cent.' 1931, s. 6 (2). for the words five per cent.".

No. 40 of

Saving as to

races run

before 1st January, 1941.

66

4. This Ordinance shall not apply to cash-sweep tickets or cash-sweep chances allocated by list on races run before the 1st day of January, 1941.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Bill is to raise the betting duty on cash-sweep tickets and cash-sweep chances from five per cent. to ten per cent.

2. Clause 3 of the Bill provides for that change in section 6 (2) of the principal Ordinance, No. 40 of 1931.

3. This raising of the duty involves reconsideration of the proviso to section 2 of the principal Ordinance which enacted that not less than ninety per cent., or in the case of a club organizing the race not less than eighty per cent., of the total contributions or subscriptions, after deduction of the duty, should be devoted to prizes for the subscribers.

3. The Taxation Committee recommended that any increase in betting duty should be borne entirely by the betting public, and to achieve this result as nearly as possible clause 2 of the Bill substitutes "eighty-nine" for " ninety and "seventy-eight" for " eighty in the proviso to section. 2 of the principal Ordinance.

4. The changed figures will enable the clubs as well as the Government to derive some benefit; but there is nothing in the new proviso to prevent the clubs devoting to prizes for the public a higher percentage if they so decide.

5. Clause 4 of the Bill provides that the amendments shall not affect tickets or chances on races run before the 1st January, 1941.

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Midwives Ordinance, 1910.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Midwives Amend- ment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Midwives Ordin- ance, 1910, is amended by the substitution of the words eight other persons, two of whom shall be certified and enrolled midwives under this Ordinance," for the words "six other persons

3. Sub-section (2) of section 4 of the Midwives Ordin- ance, 1910, is amended-

(i) in paragraph (a) (iii) by inserting the following words after the word "training

"C

(including such training after enrolment, at such intervals and for such periods as the Board may prescribe)";

(ii) in paragraph (e) by inserting the following words after the word misconduct, :

or of any midwife who, in the opinion of the Board is so inefficient, by reason of her not attaining and maintaining the standard of proficiency required by any regulations for train- ing after enrolment, that in the opinion of the Board it would be inimical to the interests of patients to allow her to continue to practise"

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 4 (1) of the principal Ordinance provides for the establishment of a Midwives Board consisting of the Director of Medical Services and six other persons appointed by the Governor.

2. All seven members of the present Board are fully qualified medical practitioners and it is not considered desir- able to reduce the number of members so qualified as it is from members of the Board that examiners for the certificate are drawn.

{

1121

3. At the same time it is considered desirable to permit midwives to be represented on the Board by certain qualified members of their own profession.

4. Clause 2 of this Bill, therefore, increases the personnel of the Board to nine, two of whom will be certified and enrolled midwives.

5. Section 4 (2) of the principal Ordinance enumerates the powers and duties of the Midwives Board. Paragraph (a) (iii) empowers it to make regulations, subject to the approval of the Governor, regulating the course of training and the conduct of examinations. Paragraph (e) empowers it to decide upon the removal from the roll of the name of any midwife for disobeying the regulations or for other mis- conduct, and upon the restoration to the roll of the name of any midwife so removed.

6. Doubts have been expressed as

expressed as to whether the powers in the said paragraphs were sufficiently comprehensive to authorize regulations providing for post-graduate training or for the removal from the roll of those not attaining the standard of proficiency required by such post-graduate training regulations.

7. Clause 3 of the Bill amends the two paragraphs so as to remove these doubts.

Provided further that neither the possession of a valid passport or travel document nor any visa or endorsement thereon nor any Entry Permit or Certificate of Residence shall be deemed to imply that the holder will be permitted to land in the Colony, or, if allowed to land, that he will be permitted to stay in the Colony; nor shall it serve as any excuse for disobeying any deportation, banishment or expulsion order or any order or regulation made under the Emergency Powers (Colonial Defence) Orders in Council, 1939 and 1940, or under the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, 1922, or any Quarantine Regulation for the time being in force.

Objects and Reasons.

66

1. The object of this Bill is to repeal the Immigration and Passports Ordinance, No. 8 of 1934, and to replace it by an Ordinance which will carry out a recommendation of the Excess Population Reduction Committee as elaborated in A Scheme for the Control of Immigration into Hong Kong" prepared by Mr. S. M. Middlebrook of the Malayan Civil Service temporarily seconded to Hong Kong for advice on immigration questions.

2. Although China issues passports to its nationals very few of such nationals possess them, and indeed even very few of the nationals of European countries found it necessary to have them for entry into the Colony until the enactment of the Passports Ordinance, No. 35 of 1923 (since repealed and replaced by Ordinance No. 8 of 1934).

A

1131

3. The regulations under the 1923 Ordinance, and the provisions of the 1934 Ordinance exempted (a) persons under the age of fifteen years, (b) persons of Chinese race and (c) persons who pass through the waters of the Colony with- out landing, and the 1934 Ordinance also exempted persons employed in the service of any ship who arrive in the Colony and leave in the same ship on her next departure. Permis- sion to enter was denied to all other persons unless they were in possession of valid passports or travel documents, and under section 4 of the 1934 Ordinance certain classes of undesirable immigrants could also be excluded.

4. The Excess Population Reduction Committee recom- mended, inter alia, the suspension of the exemption in the case of persons of Chinese race; but recommended also that Entry Passes and Residential Certificates should be issued locally and accepted for entry into the Colony as the equivalent of passports in the case of those who did not possess passports or travel documents.

5. Mr. Middlebrook's scheme elaborates this recom- mendation and provides also for the issue of Frontier Passes. But the chief feature of his scheme is the establishment of an Immigration Department to take over the duties of the Police Passport Office and to issue all the entry documents, passes and certificates.

6. The local issue of residential certificates is not new in the history of the Colony. Thus by Ordinance No. 16 of 1844 "to secure tranquillity and good order in the Colony of Hong Kong and its dependencies and to prevent the resort thereto of abandoned characters and of persons without any ostensible means of subsistence" a Registry was established for the registration of all male residents of the age of twenty- one years and upwards or capable of earning a livelihood; and registration tickets, for which fees were payable, were granted by the Registrar General to applicants who appeared fit and proper persons to be permitted to reside in the Colony. The Registrar General was also empowered to prohibit from residing in the Colony vagabonds or bad characters without visible means of subsistence.

7. Similar Ordinances have been enacted from time to time as the development of the Colony required, but generally it has not been found necessary or even desirable, in view of the geographical position of the Colony and the com- position of the majority of its inhabitants, to discourage free immigration until the overwhelming influx of refugees during the last two or three years made immigration control a neces- sity in the interests of health, sanitation and defence.

8. The scheme as at present envisaged is an emergency measure to meet abnormal conditions; and it is the intention of the Government to re-examine the whole problem as soon as the situation permits.

9. A table of correspondence is attached showing the relation between the new provisions and the enactments they will replace.

Amendment of Ordinance No. 40 of

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Betting Duty Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. The Proviso to section 2 of the Betting Duty Ordin- ance, 1931, is repealed and the following Proviso is sub- stituted therefor

Provided that not less than eighty-nine per cent., or in the case of a club organizing the race not less than seventy- eight per cent., of the total contributions or subscriptions, after deduction of the duty, shall be devoted to prizes for the subscribers.

""

3. Section 6 (2) of the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931,

'ten per cent. is amended by the substitution of the words 1931, s. 6 (2). for the words "five per cent.".

Saving as to

races run before 1st January, 1941.

4. This Ordinance shall not apply to cash-sweep tickets or cash-sweep chances allocated by list on races run before the 1st day of January, 1941.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Bill is to raise the betting duty on cash-sweep tickets and cash-sweep chances from five per cent. to ten per cent.

2. Clause 3 of the Bill provides for that change in section 6 (2) of the principal Ordinance, No. 40 of 1931.

.3. This raising of the duty involves reconsideration of the proviso to section 2 of the principal Ordinance which enacted that not less than ninety per cent., or in the case of a club organizing the race not less than eighty per cent., of the total contributions or subscriptions, after deduction of the duty, should be devoted to prizes for the subscribers.

3. The Taxation Committee recommended that any increase in betting duty should be borne entirely by the betting public, and to achieve this result as nearly as possible clause 2 of the Bill substitutes "eighty-nine" for "ninety and "

seventy-eight for eighty in the proviso to section 2 of the principal Ordinance.

,,

""

4. The changed figures will enable the clubs as well as the Government to derive some benefit; but there is nothing in the new proviso to prevent the clubs devoting to prizes for the public a higher percentage if they so decide.

5. Clause 4 of the Bill provides that the amendments shall not affect tickets or chances on races run before the 1st January, 1941.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Entertainments Tax Ordinance,

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Entertainments Short title. Tax Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

of Ordin-

2. Section 5 (1) (a) of the Entertainments Tax Ordin- Amendment ance, 1930. is amended by the substitution of the words "fourteen cents for the words "twenty cents".

ance No. 28 of 1930, s. 5 (1) (a).

Objects and Reasons.

1. It is provided by section 3 (1) of the Entertainments Tax Ordinance, 1930, (Vol. III of the Ordinances of Hong Kong, 1937 Edition) that there shall be charged, levied and paid on all payments for admission to any entertainment a duty at such rates as the Legislative Council

may by resolution prescribe.

2. Section 5 (1) (a) however provides that the duty shall not be charged on payments for admission to any entertain- ment where the Financial Secretary is satisfied that the charge for admission is not more than twenty cents for each person.

3. The rates at present in force are as follows:-

Where the amount of payment for admission, excluding the amount of duty-

does not exceed 20 cents

exceeds 20 cents and does not exceed

50 cents

exceeds 50 cents and does not exceed

$1

Free

5 cents

exceeds $3 and does not exceed $4... 40 cents-

exceeds $4 and does not exceed $5... 50 cents

exceeds $5

50 cents for the first $5 and 20 cents for each addi- tional $5 or part thereof.

1136

4. As the War Expenditure of the Colony recently undertaken or contemplated exceeds the estimate of revenue from the War Taxation Ordinance, the question of introducing a Resolution into the Legislative Council providing for an increase in the above rates has had to be considered; and in this connexion it has been deemed desirable to reduce the maximum for duty free admission charges from 20 cents to 14 cents and at the same time to increase the duties on all other admission charges.

5. This necessitates amending section 5 (1) (a) of the Ordinance by changing the 20 cents exemption to 14 cents which is effected by clause 2 of the Bill.

A BILL

Short title.

Repeal of

section 5 (4)

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend further the Advertisements Regula-

tion Ordinance, 1912.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Advertisements Regulation (No. 2) Amendment Ordinance, 1940.

2. Sub-section (4) of section 5 of the Advertisements of Ordinance Regulation Ordinance, 1912, enacted by section 3 of the Advertisements Regulation Amendment Ordinance, 1940, is repealed.

No. 19 of

1912 enacted

by Ordinance

No. 16 of 1940, s. 3.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 5 of the principal Advertisements Regulation Ordinance, No. 19 of 1912, as it appears in Volumn II of the 1937 edition of the Ordinances of Hong Kong gave certain powers to the Director of Public Works and the Commis-

1

'

1137

sioner of Police, and their authorized deputies, with regard to the removal or obliteration of illegal advertisements and sky signs.

2. Sub-section (4) of that section provided that the Director of Public Works, the Commissioner of Police and any person so authorized or deputed by either of them as aforesaid should not be held liable for any damage done by him in the course of the removal or obliteration of any adver- tisement in pursuance of that section.

3. The Amending Ordinance, No. 16 of 1940, repealed the whole section and enacted another generally to the same effect but substituting the Chairman of the Urban Council for the Director of Public Works and the Commissioner of Police.

4. While there is no objection to the transfer of duties. and powers under the Ordinance from the head of one department to the head of another, sub-section (4) of section 5 is both in its original and in its substituted form open to the objection, which has been pointed out by the Secretary of State in his despatch of the 15th August, 1940, relating to the Amending Ordinance, that it is generally undesirable to include in legislation enactments which negative or restrict normal rights of action against public officers or public bodies such as the right of action which a private person may have in respect of an illegal or negligent act.

5. The object therefore of this amending Bill is to repeal the sub-section.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Hitherto Empire Day has been a statutory holiday to be observed by educational establishments, public offices and Government departments. It is not however a bank holiday and, as business houses usually follow the lead of banks, it is in effect a holiday for public servants and not for the public. generally.

2. The object of the amendments proposed in clauses 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Bill is to preserve Empire Day as a holiday for Government schools, military schools and regis- tered schools; but to restore it, unless it falls on a Sunday, as a working day for other educational establishments, public offices and Government departments.

3. The amendment proposed in clause 3 of the Bill is the abolition of the General holiday on the first Monday in September and the substitution therefor of a General holiday on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival day, or if that day should be a Sunday then the following day.

4. This arrangement will suit the local Banks and business houses as the Festival is observed by Banks and business houses in Shanghai whilst the first Monday in September is not. It is a lunar festival, which during the next ten years will fall on various dates between the 10th September and the 6th October.

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Holidays Amend- ment Ordinance, 1941.

2. Section 2 of the Holidays Ordinance, 1912, is amended by the repeal of paragraph (b) thereof and by the substitution therefor of the following paragraph:-

1227

Objects and Reasons.

1. Hitherto Empire Day has been a statutory holiday to be observed by educational establishments, public offices and Government departments. It is not however a bank holiday and, as business houses usually follow the lead of banks, it is in effect a holiday for public servants and not for the public generally.

2. The object of the amendments proposed in clauses 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Bill is to preserve Empire Day as a holiday for Government schools, military schools and regis- tered schools; but to restore it, unless it falls on a Sunday, as a working day for other educational establishments, public offices and Government departments.

3. The amendment proposed in clause 3 of the Bill is the abolition of the General holiday on the first Monday in September and the substitution therefor of a General holiday on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival day, or if that day should be a Sunday then the following day.

4. This arrangement will suit the local Banks and business houses as the Festival is observed by Banks and business houses in Shanghai whilst the first Monday in September is not. It is a lunar festival, which during the next ten years will fall on various dates between the 10th September and the 6th October.
