Explanatory Note.

(This Note is not part of the by-laws, but is intended to indicate their generol purport).

The effect of these by-laws is to increase substantially the fees which may be charged for a grave space in the Colonial Cemetery. Since it is considered that the new foes might cause hardship in some cases, the by-laws also seek to add to the principal By-laws provisions empowering the Director of Urban Services to waive payment of those fees or to reduce the amount thereof where he thinks it proper,
