(Period egth April-14 May, 1948)

 Owing to conditions prevailing in Palestine, it has not been practicable to publish the Palestine Gazette since the issue of Gazette No. 1666 of Wednesday the 28th April, 1948. To meet this difficult an Order of the High Commi«ioner under the Palestine Order in Council, 1948, was enacted on the 29th April, 1948, which dispensed with the legal necessity for Gazetting certain legislation and notices, leaving the manner of their publication to be decided by the High Commissioner. This Order and the legislation and notices to which it applies (other than   legislation  and  notices which it proved  possible to  Gazette) are printed in this volume.
