I consider the regulations are very unsatisfactory. Can you tell us any particular ways in which they could be amended and made more satisfactory ↑

-- I will Might I suggest with your permission, Sir, assume for the sake of argument that you want to bury in section K, and the space allowed there is 80 square feet, and you want to put up ornamentation over the grave, the same as everyone wants to do over a relative that is departed. I consider a little more latitude should be allowed to those people, when the ground is practically useless for all intents and purposes,

except to the people it belongs to.

You think in section B,-You think that 80 square fest

is not sufficient in that section, where wealthy people

want to bury their dead ?

Eut that space is useless to you, particularly on Yout Davis. I can quote one instance where it was absolutelj hard pure rook below, but sufficient could he taken off the surface to allow this man to put the oiroular

ornamentation round the grave.

So you think that by allowing a little more latitude, you would be meeting the wishes of the Chinese community, and not filling up the cmetery too fast

Bay 130 feet ?

Certainly, and I say this that when they pay these enormous prices for grave spaces, they are entitled to

consideration.
