J PREFACE, The work of consolidation of the City's By-Laws has occupied a considerable period, and the reffult now brings the Municipal Regulations in a convenient form up to the 8th March, 1901. The consolidation has had the effect of greatly reducing the number of by-laws. In the prosecution of the work care has been exercised to endeavour to reproduce the existing by-laws with such alterations only as are required for uniformity of expression and adaptation to the existing state of the law and the established practice. To this general rule of revision and consolidation it has been found necessary to make certain exceptions. The Building By-Law was found to require so much alteration that remodelling became a necessity. The Local Improvements By- Laws, the Sewer Construction By-Laws and a few others also required somewhat extensive alterations to bring them into accord with the existing state of the law and the necessities created by the development of the city's growth. The method adopted to make the Consolidated By-Laws the regulations henceforth to be observed in the government of the city is clearly to be gathered from a perusal of the Interpretation By-Law, from which it will be seen that all the by-laws dealt with and heretofore in force are repealed, with very full provisions for preserving existing rights and remedies, and the Consolidated By-Laws are enacted in substitution therefor. A complete list of all existing by-laws dealt with and the method in whieh they have been consolidated appears in the Schedule to the Interpretation By-Law, printed for convenience at the commencement, and with the aid of this* Schedule, and with reference to the marginal notes on the by-laws, any provision can be readily traced to its source. The other parts of the Schedule to the Interpretation By-Law deal with Loan By-Laws, Local Improvement Debenture By-Laws, Aid, Bonus andjGuarantee Loans, and such by-laws of a more or less private character, which it has not been thought desirable to consolidate. They are included for reference only. ]STo regard has been paid to Annual By-Laws, or those the operation of which is of a temporary character. They remain unaltered if in force. In arranging the order in which the Consolidated By-Laws appear in this volume it was found difficult to retain the chronological order, and they have accordingly been grouped as appeared most convenient. Acknowledgment has to be made of the assistance rendered by the City Officials, and of the services of a professional gentleman of large experience, in the preparation of the work. March, 1901. J. M.

Whereas it is expedient that all lands or improvements or real property within the limits of the Corporation of the City of Victoria upon which Municipal taxes have been due and in arrears for two years shall be sold, and the proceeds applied in the reduction of such taxes; Therefore the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Victoria enacts as follows:— 1.
