“ Protection of Wild Birds and Mammals: Ordinance No. 8 implements the recommendations of a committee which was set up to consider existing legislation giving protection to wild animals and birds. The old provisions are retained and further protection is afforded in that the trapping of all birds and mammals (other than rodents) and the possession, sale and export of certain birds and mammals are prohibited. ”

“ Housing: Ordinance No. 18 fulfils a long felt need in establishing a Housing Authority charged with the duty of providing housing accommodation for those persons in the Colony living in overcrowded and unsatisfactory conditions. ”

“ The great increase of population and building in the Colony has thrown upon the fire brigade, as in the case of most public service, a very heavy burden and has led to substantial increases in its strength. In consequence it became necessary to revise and extend the provisions contained in the old Fire Brigade Ordinance which was enacted in 1925. ”
