WHEREAS it is desirable to make provision for the admission of persons desiring to practise as land surveyors in this colony:

Be it enacted by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Transvaal, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:—

Repeal.

1. Proclamation Transvaal No. 4 of 1902, and so much of any other law as is repugnant to or inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance, are hereby repealed.

Examinations required to be passed by candidate for admission as land surveyor.

2. No person shall be admitted to practise as a land surveyor in this colony until he has attained the age of twenty-one years, and has worked in the field for a period of not less than two years with a qualified Government surveyor, and has passed—

(a.) In this colony, such examination or examinations as may be prescribed by the Board of Examiners of this colony and approved by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council; or

(b.) In some other part of His Majesty’s Dominion, such examination or examinations as the Board of Examiners of this colony, with the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, may deem to be equivalent to the examination or examinations prescribed under subsection (a) of this section. If the examination or examinations passed elsewhere shall be deemed to be equivalent in part only to the examination or examinations prescribed under subsection (a) of this section, the applicant shall be required to pass such supplementary examination or examinations as the Board of Examiners may prescribe: Provided, however, that after a date to be fixed by the Lieutenant-Governor no person shall be entitled to the benefit of this subsection unless by the laws of the place where he passed his examination or examinations a similar privilege is conferred upon persons who have passed the examination or examinations for the time being prescribed for land surveyors in this colony; and
