The PRESIDENT It was under the old byelaws that the Medical Officer of Health signed these permits if there was no objection. There was a standing rule that no sach signature was necessary if a death was over seven years old.

Mr. HOOPEL referred the President to the old byelaw which said that no grave should be reopened, if a corpse was interred therein, without the written permission of the Medical Officer of Health or other officer duly appointed by the Board for that purpose.
