 The Colony continued to be administered by the Resident Commissioner, based in the Gilbert Islands, with a District Officer based on Funafuti.In 1930 the Resident Commissioner, Arthur Grimble, issued revised laws, "Regulations for the good Order and Cleanliness of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands".The Regulations removed the ability of the "kaupule" to issue local regulations, and proscribed stringent rules of public and private behaviour.
