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.

(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-

(a) so far as regards use thereof by the applicant and any such use thereof by the other person in relation to goods connected in the course of trade with the applicant as would not be an infringement of the said right if the applicant were the proprietor of the trade mark;

(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.

(4) An order under this section may be varied or revoked by a subsequent order made by the Registrar.

4. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 4 of the Trading with the Enemy Ordinance, 1914, or any rule of law relating to intercourse or dealings with or for the benefit of enemies, it shall be lawful, subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, for a trade mark to be registered under the Trade Marks Ordinance, 1909, on the application of an

enemy:

Provided that, where such a registration as aforesaid is effected on the application of an enemy-

(i) the person registered shall not be entitled to require the issue of the certificate of registration; and

(ii) the rights conferred by the registration shall be subject to any relevant provisions of any enactment for the time being in force relating to the property of an enemy.

161

(2) The Registrar may, in any case in which in his opinion it is desirable in the public interest so to do, refuse to take, or suspend the taking of, any proceedings on or in relation to an application of an enemy for the registration of a trade mark.

(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.

c. 107, s. 6..

(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.

(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

(b) may be granted notwithstanding that that time. expired before any application or request for extension was made, or that, by reason of that act not having been done within that time, the relevant application, registration or proceeding has ceased or expired, or become void or invalid, or been treated as abandoned.

(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.

6.-(1) For the purposes of this Ordinance--- (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 prima facie evidence that that person is resident in that territory; and

7.

8.-(1) The Chief Justice with the approval of the Legislative Council may make rules for regulating the practice 2 & 3 Geo. 6, under this Ordinance, including rules providing for opposi- tions and rules regulating the service of documents and the time within which any act authorized or required by this Ordinance or the rules may or must be done.

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:-

countries.

3. The Secretary of State has suggested in his circular despatch of the 3rd January, 1940, the desirability of each Colony giving legal effect to these obligations and he has prepared a draft model Ordinance for the purpose. This bill follows closely the provisions of the draft.

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 "

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.

(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".

Saving of rights of

rown and certain other rights.

Objects and Reasons.

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.

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

REPORT

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

(i) substitute and/or " for (ii) substitute

(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 :-

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.

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.
