Although the new cemetery will be situated outside the urban district as defined in Section 3 of the

Public Health (Sanitation) Ordinance, 1935, it is of

course desirable that it should be under the control of

the Urban Council and that the Cemetery By-laws in Schedule A of the Ordinance should apply to it. For this purpose an order by the Governor in Council under Section 99 the Public Health (Sanitation) Ordinance is all that is necessary and such an order will be made in due

course.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,

E Journ

Officer Administering the Government.
