Explanatory Note.
(This note is mot part of the by-laws, but is intended
to indicate their general perport).
Under section 75 of the Public Health (Sanitation) Ordinance, 1986, a permit is required to exhume a body or the remains of a body buried in "any place, or to remove the remains from an urn deposited in any place. The few now charged are $5 for an exhumation permit in Chinese cemeteries and $5 for a removal permit in Government Sections of Chinese cemeteries. There is no authority for charging any fees for similar permits which are issued in respect of non-Chinese cemeteries or outside authorized cemeteries. In view of the work involved in issuing them, it is now proposed to make a standard charge of $10 for each permit issued under section 75 of the main Ordinance and by-law 2 is designed for this purpose.
2. The only charges which have been made by Government up to now, for interment at Wo Hop Shek Cemetery, which is in the New Territories, have been interment fees of $1 for a grave in 'A' Section (2nd Class) and $5 for a grave in 'B' Section (1st Class). Coffins have hitherto been conveyed to the cemetery free of charge, and in view of the very heavy cost of this transportation to Government, plus the increased cost of labour and material for interment, by law 3 provides for an increase in the Interment fees from $1 to $5 for Section A and from $6 to $15 for Section B,
