Resolution on Special Areas Bill Referred for Study
The Board of Trade drafted and passed a Resolution urging careful study of the Special Areas Bill. It was sent to His Excellency for a few months hoist-until January 1941. With warmer weather, the measure may be iced down until the busy season passes so people have time to understand it. A Bill conceived over nine months could be further deferred until fully comprehended.
