It is proposed to merge the minor port of Tuticorin, which is governed by the Tuticorin Port Trust Act, 1924 (Madras Act 2 of 1924), with the major port of New Tuticorin and thereafter apply to the major port of New Tuticorin the provisions of the Major Port Trust Act, 1963.

2 The amendment to section 5 of the 1908 Act is for spelling out ex-

pressly that the power to alter the limits of any port under that section includes the power to alter such limits by uniting with that port any other port or any part of any other port The amendment to section 133 of the 1963 Act is for providing that the cesser of operation under that section of any law in force in a port to which that Act is applied will have the same consequences as the repeal of an enactment under section 6 of the General Clauses Act, 1897
