Act No. 1457, enacted on February 21, 1906, amends the charter of the City of Manila to clarify the jurisdiction of the city government for police purposes within a designated area surrounding the city. Specifically, it extends police jurisdiction to a zone of two and a half miles from the city limits and into Manila Bay, allowing concurrent jurisdiction for the courts and police of both Manila and surrounding municipalities to address crimes and misdemeanors. Additionally, any licenses granted in this zone will be managed by local municipalities, with associated fees going to their treasuries rather than Manila's. The Act also ensures that these provisions apply to the enforcement of health-related regulations until a new water system is established.

SECTION 1. Section three of Act Numbered One hundred and eighty-three, entitled "An Act to incorporate the city of Manila," is hereby amended so as to read as follows:
"SEC. 3. The jurisdiction of the city of Manila for police purposes only shall extend to three miles from the shore into Manila Bay and over a zone surrounding the city on land of two and one-half miles in width. Within the two and one-half mile zone beyond the limits of the city the Court of First Instance and the municipal court of the city of Manila shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the Courts of First Instance and the courts of justices of the peace of the provinces and municipalities, respectively, to try crimes and misdemeanors committed therein. The court first taking jurisdiction of such an offense shall thereafter retain exclusive jurisdiction thereof. The police of the several municipalities concerned shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the police of the city of Manila for the maintenance of good order and the enforcement of lawful ordinances throughout the two and one-half mile zone: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That any license that may lawfully be granted within the two and one-half mile zone shall be granted by the proper authorities of the municipality concerned, and the fees arising therefrom shall appertain to the treasury of the municipality concerned and not to that of the city of Manila: AND PROVIDED FURTHER, That all fines, forfeitures, fees, and costs imposed by reason of offenses committed within the two and one-half mile zone shall accrue not to the treasury of the city of Manila, but to the treasury to which they would otherwise accrue had not this section been enacted."
SECTION 2. The provisions of section one of this Act as to concurrent jurisdiction of courts and of police shall also, until the new water system for the city of Manila is completed and in operation, be applicable to the enforcement of subsection (i) of section three of Act Numbered Eleven hundred and fifty, entitled "An Act further defining the powers and duties of the Board of Health for the Philippine Islands and of the Municipal Board of the city of Manila in connection with the preservation of the public health of that city, and repealing certain provisions of law relative thereto."
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on its passage.
