+
The CHAIRMAX informed the Commit- tee that the Government considered it desirable to provide & Crematorium for general use and hard before them a plan showing a proposal to erect such a structure at the south-east corner of the Colonial Cemetery. The plan show- ed that direct access from Wongnei- chong Road to the Crematorium was to be provided so as to obviate the neces sity of passing through the Colonial Cemetery Itself in order to reach it. Quarters for a caretaker were included in the proposal, the estimated cost being 800, if the Crematorium were erected close to the road, and $3,300. if it ere erected somewhat further
back. /
The Committee were unanimously of opinion that a Crematorium for gen- eral use should be provided and that the site suggested was a suitable one. They advised that the building bould constructed at some distance back #rom the road and that, notwithstand Ing any increase which might have to be made in the estimate, the structure itself and the apparatus required for Cremation purposes should be in sa cordance with the latest and most up: to-date practice.
