MOTOR TRAFFIC ORDINANCE 1958.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 10 of 1958

	Provision for short term registrations (of less than twelve months’ duration) was included in the Motor Traffic Ordinance in 1927.  A surcharge of 5/- was added to the normal registration fee for these shorter periods.

	The surcharge of 5/- falls far short of the cost of providing the service and so by this Ordinance, which amends section 52 of the Motor Traffic Ordinance, it is increased to 15/-.

	Sub-section (3) of section 52 is amended also by the omission of reference to the forms in the First Schedule.  This Schedule was repealed by the Motor Traffic Ordinance 1956.
